QB Justin Fields (2019-20 B1G Off POY, 2020 Silver Football, 2019 B1G CCG MVP, Pittsburgh Steelers)



Makes you wonder, in another 10 years you look back at the 10 QBs taken in the 2021 draft:
  • No. 1: Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
  • No. 2: Zach Wilson, New York Jets
  • No. 3: Trey Lance, San Francisco 49ers
  • No. 11: Justin Fields, Chicago Bears
  • No. 15: Mac Jones, New England Patriots
  • No. 64: Kyle Trask, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  • No. 66: Kellen Mond, Minnesota Vikings
  • No. 67: Davis Mills, Houston Texans
  • No. 133: Ian Book, New Orleans Saints
  • No. 218: Sam Ehlinger, Indianapolis Colts
who actually was the best pick. I'll say right now Fields is in the top 2 with Lawrence.

CHICAGO -- Eddie Jackson is tired. He is tired of the excuses, tired of the Bears' defense making the same mistakes, and tired of not giving Justin Fields and the offense enough support.

The veteran safety is also fed up with getting the short end of a bad officiating stick. Jackson called for ref accountability after two questionable pass interference calls in the Bears' Week 9 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

In the Bears' 31-30 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, rookie middle linebacker Jack Sanborn had an interception wiped away by a phantom hands to the face flag on Jaylon Johnson. That interception would have given the Bears the ball, leading by 14 with 11:42 remaining.

The game would have effectively been over.

Instead, the interception was taken away, and the Lions scored on the next play to cut the lead to seven and started the Bears' fourth-quarter meltdown.

"I didn't really see it," Jackson said of the flag on Johnson after the loss. "But I heard it was a bad call. Another week of it."

The Bears were flagged nine times for 86 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions. They handed the Lions four first downs via flag, three of which came on the touchdown drive that included Sanborn's should-have-been interception.

"We already know how the calls go," Jackson said. "We can't do nothing about that and just do our job. Stay disciplined. I feel like some of them calls was kind of B.S."

While the Bears' offense has been clicking over the last month, the defense has failed to pull its weight. After holding the New England Patriots to 14 points in a Week 7 win, the Bears' defense has given up 49, 35, and 31, respectively, over the last three weeks.

In doing so, the Bears became the first team to score 29 or more points in three straight games and not record one win.

It was clear Sunday that the frustration and inability to help quarterback Justin Fields and the offense is getting to Jackson, one of the lone veteran defensive leaders left on a unit that lost Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith to trades.

"Me, the type of player I am, it just eats me up inside, like I'm just not helping," Jackson said. "Especially myself, you know, I want to go out there and make every play if I can. We got to be better on D, man. We got to get him some help. What him and the offense is doing, it's something different. It's something different. Them boys is balling. I feel like we just leaving them out to dry. Got to get that changed man."
