Bears Breakdown

Justin Fields displayed resiliency and clutch playmaking ability late in the Bears' 12-10 victory Monday night in Minnesota, overcoming two lost fumbles to engineer a game-winning drive.

Quarterback Justin Fields excelled in his return after missing four games with a dislocated right thumb, generating impact plays through the air and on the ground in Sunday's loss to the Lions.

Montez Sweat's eight pressures and three quarterback hits led a defense that stifled Bryce Young and the Carolina offense throughout the Bears' 16-13 victory over the Panthers Thursday night at Soldier Field.

Acquired Tuesday in a trade with the Commanders, defensive end Montez Sweat made his Bears debut in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Saints, playing predominantly in passing situations.

Fundamentally-sound tackling helped fuel three straight strong performances by the Bears defense, but the unit faltered in that area in Sunday night's 30-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Cornerback Jaylon Johnson's two interceptions, including a pick-six, finished off an impressive outing by the Bears defense Sunday, who allowed just 235 yards and 12 points in a win over Las Vegas Sunday at Soldier Field.

After taking over Sunday in the third quarter for an injured Justin Fields, backup quarterback Tyson Bagent saw his first regular-season NFL action, a performance highlighted by the rookie's first career touchdown drive.

Justin Fields followed one excellent passing performance with another in Thursday night's 40-20 win over the Commanders, becoming just the second Bears quarterback to throw four TD passes in back-to-back games.

After being targeted only twice in the season opener, Bears top receiver DJ Moore had six receptions for 104 yards in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.

Despite their struggles during Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Packers, the Bears are confident they can correct their mistakes and bounce back quickly ahead of next week's road game against the Buccaneers.
