The Bears’ season will end whether they win, lose or tie on Sunday, but that doesn’t mean they head into their game against the Packers without caring about the outcome.
A win would put the Packers in the playoffs and Bears quarterback Justin Fields made clear Wednesday that preventing that from happening is motivation enough for the team to go all out in Green Bay.
“I think it will be so It means a lot to the team“The fans, the city,” Fields said, via Patrick Finley of Chicago Sun-Times. “I think it’s going to be great. We know Green Bay plays a lot, and what’s on the line. They’re playing for a playoff spot right now. So I think with all that on the table, it’s going to feel great to finish the season with a win at Lambeau there.” “
Fields neglected what a win would mean to him, but it would serve as a nice final act as the Bears move toward some big decisions this season. With the first overall pick in the draft, the Bears have the option of selecting one of the best quarterbacks to come out of college or committing to Fields as he moves into his fourth NFL season.
There will certainly be arguments on both sides, but leading the Bears to wins in five of their last six games while showing improved play makes Fields a more attractive option than he was at the start of the year.
