Chicago quarterback Justin Fields took time Wednesday to clarify comments he made following the Bears’ loss to the Green Bay Packers, saying he did not mean to come off as dismissive of his team’s fans.
Fields drew some criticism on social media for his rather innocuous response to a postgame question. He was asked if the loss at Lambeau Field hurts more because of the rivalry and how much fans wanted a rare win over Green Bay.
Fields said he was so "frustrated" afterward he didn’t even want to conduct his mandatory postgame news conference and wound up giving the wrong impression. "I talked to my dad about it, and as long as I’m going to be in this position there’s going to be stuff like that that pops up," he said. "So just knowing that as long as I’m in this profession that it’s never going to go away. So just gotta either be really clear to everything that I say, be really descriptive to what I mean, or really just don’t say anything at all."
A massive rainstorm pretty much washed out the passing game in Chicago’s season-opening win over San Francisco at Soldier Field. But the Bears didn’t get it going against Green Bay, either.
