Given the full context of this throw (playoff game, they 100% lose if this isn’t converted, they ended up winning, etc.), this has to be one of the very best plays in recent NFL history.
Okay so that Miles Davis quote "if you hit a wrong note, it's the next note you play that determines if it's good or bad" applies to basically everything
Important note on the Justin Fields trade: At least four additional teams inquired about trading for Fields, but Fields’ representation asked for him not to be traded there. He wanted the #Steelers, and the #Bears did right by him.
Can’t say thank you enough to the city of Chicago for taking me in and embracing me. Thank you to the entire Bears organization and ownership for allowing me the opportunity to be part of such a historic franchise. But most of all thank you to my all my brothers that I played with. You all were the reason I attacked each day the way I did. I can’t thank you all enough for what y’all have meant to me over the last 3 years through the ups and downs. I wish each one of you nothing but success. Ready for this next chapter!
DJ Moore, noted cigar enthusiast according to Justin Fields, provided the locker room with celebratory cigars after the Bears won their fifth straight home game.
Fields equated the whole day to feeling "like a movie," from beating his hometown Atlanta Falcons to hearing fans chant how they want him back in Chicago in 2024 to celebrating in a smokey postgame locker room with his teammates.
Fields: "I'll definitely remember this game for the rest of my life. Just the atmosphere, the fans, the chants, the snow...it was a good day today."
"I'm gonna remember this for the rest of my life."
- Justin Fields talking to @Amanda_Balionis about hearing WE WANT FIELDS chants raining down from @ChicagoBears fans
Bears players definitely heard the "We want Justin" chants from at Soldier Field.
"Of course, I heard them," Jaquan Brisker said. "I want Justin. We all want Justin. Let's go!"
"I did hear those chants," DJ Moore said. "And I know (the front office's) box is right there."
