Justin Fields had perhaps his best game of the season for the Chicago Bears on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
He was comfortable, decisive, and in control of the offense during a blistering second half for the offense. However, probably the most important detail that stood out yesterday, was that Fields avoided turnovers.
Fields threw zero interceptions and lost zero fumbles, something that hadn't been done all season long until yesterday.
Despite that though, head coach Matt Eberflus didn't point that out as one of the things he saw the most from Fields' impressive performance.
Instead, he spotlighted Fields' poise throughout the game as one of the things he was happy about regarding Fields.
"He had great poise," Eberflus said today. "I felt that [he was] calm and confident back there."
Eberflus certainly was impressed by Fields' performance yesterday. In fact he should be, as Fields put together a really encouraging display.
All the Bears want from him now is to of course stay healthy, and also continue building on the success he found against Minnesota. If he does, the noise surrounding Fields will cease, which'll do a lot of good for Fields and the organization moving forward.
And, based off what Eberflus said Monday, there should be plenty of optimism moving forward.
"I just think he's getting comfortable in the offense," said Eberflus. "… And I think the coaches are getting comfortable with him. As you go through the process, [you want to figure out] what guys are good at and play to their strengths.
"And I think that's for any coach. You feel more comfortable the more time you spend with a certain player. You just feel comfortable with what he's good at [and] you enhance that."
