The Chicago Bears probably aren’t going anywhere this season. They’re 3-6, 1-5 in the NFC and moved two key defensive players at the NFL trade deadline. The goal is to improve and evaluate, get ready for a better day down the road. But it looks like they’ve found something at quarterback. And in the NFL, that’s always Job No. 1. Miami escaped with a 35-32 victory at Chicago on Sunday, but Justin Fields was the star of the day. Fields ran for 178 yards — a new regular-season record… Source link
Read More »Bears lose but more importantly, QB Justin Fields has arrived
The Chicago Bears gave Justin Fields the worst hand possible to play with this season. He has turned 2-7 offsuit into a big winner. The Bears haven’t helped Fields at all but he’s succeeding anyway. That is a great sign for the Bears moving forward, assuming they finally understand what they have and want to actually build around him. Fields was fantastic on Sunday as he continues to emerge as the best quarterback of the 2021 draft. Not that there’s been much competition there. The Bears lost… Source link

Brown. It didn’t matter that he was with a new team, Brown looked fully involved in the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense. Brown caught 10 of his 13 targets for a whopping 155 yards. Somehow, Justin Jefferson was better. Jefferson torched every member of the Green Bay Packers’ secondary, racking up 184… Source link

Read More »Justin Jefferson makes his claim for the No.1 WR crown
Justin Jefferson blew up during his first game with Minnesota’s new coaching staff, as he had already recorded more fantasy points by halftime of the late games than any other non-QB in Week 1. Fantasy managers hoped Jefferson would slide into the Cooper Kupp role with Kevin O’Connell coming from the Rams, and the first game of this supposed role resulted in the most receiving yards in a half by a Vikings receiver in more than 30 years. While there’s some concern Minnesota took its… Source link

Justin Jefferson‘s unbridled confidence knows no bounds. Fresh off his second consecutive 1,400-yard season, the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver not only said he can crack 2,000 receiving yards (which would break an NFL record) but he also believes he’ll be considered the best pass-catcher in the NFL by season’s end. Yes, better than Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams — whom Jefferson said is No. 1 right now — and Los Angeles Rams receiver Cooper Kupp, who led the league in… Source link

The team officially announced the deal as well without disclosing the contract terms. Tucker’s new contract also comes with $17.5 million in guaranteed money, which puts him, at worst, second in the NFL in career earnings for a kicker at $51.07 million — behind Sebastian Janikowski’s $53.28 million career earnings, per Source link
