Unfortunately, Fields and his team couldn’t convert on the final play of the game when the Bears’ wide receiver bobbled the ball at the goal line during a catch.

After the game, a disappointed Fields noted that the Bears had plenty of opportunities to score and win the game early on.
"there was multiple plays in that game that we could've made to win that game. Doesn't matter if you drive all the way down there and don't score. It's the same as a three and out or a punt"

Justin admitted that he’s playing injured but should be good to go for next week.

A frustrated Fields is tired of hearing that the team is close to turning the corner.
"We always get told that we're 'almost there' 'almost there' I'm tired of hearing it… we've gotta improve"
