The Chicago Bears (2-3) suffered a 29-22 defeat by the Minnesota Vikings (4-1) on Sunday, but this loss felt different than the others.
It was actually fun to watch this scrappy Bears team fight back before another fumble cost them a shot at victory. There’s no such thing as a good loss, but this was an encouraging one. It was the growth of quarterback Justin Fields that made this loss more bearable, where he looked comfortable, confident and decisive for the first time this season.
