The Chicago Bears defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 20-17 in their home opener, where Chicago’s defense was downright dominant with four straight takeaways in the second half.

While the defense calmed any significant concerns following an embarrassing Week 1 outing, the big story of the day was the injury to Andy Dalton. Dalton suffered a knee injury in the second quarter, where he was replaced by rookie Justin Fields. Fields had a rough debut, which included rookie mistakes, dropped passes and an ill-advised interception, you have to wonder if we’re seeing the beginning of the Fields era.

The Chicago Bears kicked off the 2021 season with a disappointing 34-14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football, which marked their third consecutive loss in this series.

Overall, it was a rough outing for the Bears, whose defense struggled to contain Matthew Stafford and the Rams’ high-powered attack. Despite scoring just 14 points, there were encouraging signs from the offense. Bears fans were treated to a limited portion of Justin Fields, who left many begging for the rookie quarterback to take the field on a more permanent basis.
