Justin Fields has been under fire at times behind a make-shift offensive line. But soon, he'll get a chance to get max protection from the big dawgs.

Former Bears quarterback leads four consecutive touchdown drives against his ex-teammates in a successful return to Soldier Field — with no hard feelings. "They’re still like family to me."

Jul 5, 2021 One of the great mysteries about current NFL fans is how every year a group that should be sophisticated after all of the popularity of fantasy football can fail so completely to understand the bottom of a roster come training camp.
