CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night, a person informed of the deal told The Associated Press. Chicago will receive a conditional 2025 pick, another person familiar with the details of the trade told the AP. The move is a strong signal the Bears will draft a QB -- perhaps USC’s Caleb Williams -- with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. Fields figures to back up nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson, who signed a one-year deal with the Steelers on Friday.

We don’t back down.”The NFC North-leading Lions (8-2) overcame four turnovers, including Goff's season-high three interceptions, and a 12-point deficit late in the fourth quarter to win. “That’s probably a top-five team in the league, maybe top three, and we know we should have beaten them," Fields said. Fields mostly played well in his first game in a month, but slightly overthrew Tyler Scott on a deep pass late in the game on a play that could have potentially help to seal the victory. Fields, who was out with a dislocated right thumb, threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to DJ Moore late in the third quarter. He threw more than two interceptions for the first time since 2019 when he played for the Los Angeles Rams.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Chicago traded wide receiver Chase Claypool to the Miami Dolphins on Friday, ending the fourth-year player's brief and disappointing tenure with the Bears.

▼ + stars: | 2022-10-25 | by ( Ben Morse | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

CNN —New England Patriots starting quarterback Mac Jones was benched mid-game in his team’s 33-14 home defeat to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. Jones had missed the past three games with a high ankle sprain but finally returned to the starting line-up to face the Bears. A New England Patriots fan holds a sign during the game against the Bears. In a style change from previous weeks, the Bears coaching staff implemented more designed runs for Fields to utilize his dynamism and keep the Patriots defense off-kilter. “I think that creates an issue sometimes for the defense, depending on what defense they’re in,” Eberflus said.
