Justin Fields and the Bears passing attack still haven’t cracked 15 completions or 200 passing yards in a game, but head coach Matt Eberflus thinks the offense is improving.
There’s something to that. Coming into the game, the Bears’ 4.3 net yards per pass attempt ranked dead last in the NFL. Justin Fields was pressured on 35.9% of his dropbacks, the second-highest rate in the league. The Bears barely pushed the ball down field and rarely hit on explosive plays in the pass game. They did marginally better in those categories against the Giants.
“I loved the way he was throwing the ball down the field,” Eberflus said. “That’s going to open up some more things for us.” Despite any incremental progress, the Bears need to do much better with their pass game. They need to protect Fields better, and Fields needs to do better adjusting protections at the line. The Bears need to push the ball downfield more, and players need to execute when those plays are called. Up and down, from the coaches to the players, there is plenty of room for improvement.
