Bears quarterback Justin Fields believes it is much too early to give up hope on the current season.
The 0-3 Bears are probably the most disappointing team in the NFL, but Fields stated after Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs that he isn’t giving up on the chance of participating in the playoffs.
Fields admitted that “I need to be better,” but after a difficult week in Chicago in which he felt the need to call a special press conference to clarify comments he’d made earlier about what’s going on with the team, he says he’s still grateful that he gets to pursue his dream of being an NFL quarterback.
“The Lions started 1-6 last year, and they almost made the playoffs,” Fields said. “We’ve got 14 left, at least.”
“I’m looking at it like the big picture, just life in general,” Fields said. “I think this past week has had me kind of look at it like, What are the important things in life? I think these past couple of weeks have made me appreciate the little things in life, like being able to play this game.
Every opportunity I get to go out there and play, I’m going to have fun. I’m going to play my hardest and just thank God for giving me the ability to play. So, no matter what the scoreboard is, I will keep to the same mindset and just push and keep moving forward.”
Sunday’s home fixture against the 0-3 Broncos may be an opportunity for the Bears to turn things around in their favor, although even coming off a 70-20 loss, the Broncos are still favored by 3.5 points for the game in Chicago.
