The night neither belonged to the Chicago Bears nor their star quarterback Justin Fields. The side lost to their opponent – the Washington Commanders – by 12-7 while Justin Fields re-aggravated injury on his left shoulder.
A pre-existing injury took a blow in the third quarter following a 40-yard touchdown pass to Dante Pettis. Justin Fields decided to lay low and rise with a couple of pushups. However, this has now raised a question about the limit to which he can bear the pain. According to a statement released by Justin Fields, the pain is hurting, but he has got a long weekend to recover as per the sports news.

That did not happen, as the Commanders took charge of the game in the fourth quarter without letting the Bears score anything. Justin Fields had a night with 14 for 27 for 190 yards, 1 interception, and 1 touchdown. It was in addition to carrying the game 12 times for 88 yards.The first quarter went nil for both sides, who could not put anything on the board. The Commanders scored 3 points in the second quarter, while the Bears maintained their tempo with no score.
A change came in at the start of the second half after the Bears scored 7 points, the only 7 points in the entire event from them, without letting the Commanders put up a single score. The Commanders redeemed the loss to claim the winning edge in the final quarter with 9 on the board. Had the Bears been able to match dedication, it would have been a close match.The final tally came to 7-12 in favor of the Commanders.
Carson Wentz stood out for the Commanders with 77 canaries for 60 yards with 12/22 for 99 yards. He only lacked a touchdown and an interception. The Washington Commanders are next scheduled to play the Green Bay Packers.The Chicago Bears will take on the New England Patriots in their next game on October 25, 2022.Recent trends are unwell for the Bears.
