Zach Wilson should take notes from Justin Fields.
On Sunday, Fields, who was playing with a dislocated shoulder, apologized to the team’s defense for not being able to score enough points to beat the Falcons.
Little nugget I picked up: Bears QB Justin Fields apologized to his teammates after Chicago's loss to the Falcons in the locker room postgame. Told them the defense gave the offense a chance, and the offense didn't get it done.
Went a long way with guys, after he'd played hurt.

My understanding is Fields' defensive teammates stopped him as he was finishing the apology, and told him they had his back. Really cool moment for everyone there, and a nice sign of where Matt Eberflus has taken the culture in Chicago.

Jets QB Zach Wilson did the opposite after the Jets loss and said he didn’t feel he let the team’s defense down by only scoring three points on offense.
