The Bears’ comeback atttempt ended with an embarrassing Justin Fields pick-six to a defensive lineman

Justin Fields imploded at the worst possible time.

The Chicago Bears have officially validated concerns they were in complete crisis mode.

On Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Chicago had an opportunity to rebound from a deflating opening defeat to the Green Bay Packers. But an uneven team performance forced the Bears to press for a comeback from their own end zone in the final moments of the fourth quarter. And they never got a chance to really make Tampa Bay sweat.

While backed up, Justin Fields tried to loft a soft pass over his offensive line. Instead, it went straight to defensive end Shaquil Barrett, who made an athletic one-hand catch before burrowing his way into the end zone for a game-clinching 27-17 score. It’s just a brutal ending for the Bears, who already had their backs up against the wall this early in the year:

A rough and lackluster day for Fields ended with two picks on his last two drives. He now has 427 yards passing and three interceptions in two games of what was supposed to be a promising Year 3 leap. And this pick-six was perfectly symbolic of a Chicago offense that never really gained any steam en route to a disappointing 0-2 start.

Shaquil Barrett ranked 20th-best NFL pass rusher in new ranking

Barrett will play his fifth season in Tampa Bay in 2023.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers EDGE Shaquil Barrett is somewhat of an unknown for 2023, but he still has the potential to produce in his fifth season with the Bucs.

Pro Football Focus recently ranked the NFL’s top 32 pass rushers, and Barrett was the only Tampa Bay player to make the cut. He was ranked at No. 20, in the fourth of five tiers, by PFF writer Trevor Sikkema.

Here is what Sikkema wrote about Barrett:

Barrett is coming off an Achilles tear, so who knows what he’ll be in 2023; however, since 2019, he’s been one of the league’s most productive and savvy pass-rushers.

How Barrett recovers from his Achilles tear will determine how his season goes. For positions that rely on explosiveness, an Achilles tear like the one that Barrett suffered is one of the most difficult injuries to come back from. On top of that, Barrett is 30 years old, so he’ll have to battle general wear and tear of age as he recovers.

However, if he is able to stick to form, his ranking is warranted. Barrett had a 10-sack season in 2021, so it would be foolish to count him out entirely for the coming year.
