| 0:05.0 | Alright, it took five weeks, but the Bears have decided Justin Fields is their guy going |
| 0:09.7 | forward. |
| 0:10.7 | Don't pay attention to the fantasy points from last week. |
| 0:12.6 | He played really well. |
| 0:14.0 | 11 of 17, 209 yards. |
| 0:16.9 | Only six fantasy points, but he averaged something like 12 passing yards per attempt. |
