Week 2 of the regular season was much sloppier for the Chicago Bears than Week 1 after a controversial call. This was despite pristine conditions at Lambeau Field. Unfortunately, just as it has so many times over the last 40 years, the Green Bat Packers\u2019 home was not a welcoming venue for the underdeveloped Bears.<\/p>\n
The Bears ran 41 offensive plays. Compare that to 68 for the Packers. Suddenly, a path to the 27-10 Bears\u2019 loss on Sunday Night Football<\/a> seems evident. And yet, with just over eight minutes to go, the Bears were still in the game and trailing by just one touchdown.<\/p>\n Or so they thought.<\/p>\n Justin Fields<\/a>\u2019 attempt at breaking the plane on 4th-and-1 was deemed short on the field. The call was upheld upon review and Green Bay went down and kicked a field goal on the ensuing drive.<\/p>\n MORE BEARS:<\/strong> Preseason Takeaways<\/a> | Exec Speaks on Team Building<\/a> | The Importance of a Fullback<\/a><\/p>\n Would that score have led to a Bears\u2019 upset? They would still have trailed by seven points if they scored and 10 points if the Packers\u2019 field goal drive still happened. But it certainly could have changed the opinions of those who came away feeling deflated.<\/p>\n Fields shared his thoughts<\/a> after the game.<\/p>\n \u201cIt changes everything,\u201d said Fields of what he thought was a touchdown. \u201cBut again, I didn\u2019t get in. Got to face the facts. Just move on.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked about throwing just 11 times on a night where they trailed by as much as 17 points in the first half, Fields was first complimentary of the rushing attack which he said offensive coordinator Luke Getsy<\/a> planned on featuring.<\/p>\n \u201cMy job isn\u2019t to call the plays,” said Fields in deference, not blame. “My job is the execute the play that\u2019s given to me the best I can.\u201d<\/p>\n Pack defense holds strong at the goal line! <\/p>\n \ud83d\udcfa: #CHIvsGB<\/a> on NBC — NFL (@NFL) September 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nBears’ Justin Fields: ‘My Job Isn’t to Call Plays, My Job is to Execute’<\/h2>\n
