Bears players and fans — even general manager Ryan Poles caught on camera wearing a wide smile in his suite — emanated joy at a 21-point Bears lead, the end to their taxing losing streak within reach.A pair of Russell Wilson touchdown passes. A Fields fumble that the Broncos returned for a score. A Matt Eberflus decision to go for it on fourth-and-1 that went awry. Another big Wilson play against a Bears rookie cornerback. And a game-sealing interception thrown by Fields.
With 2:57 to play and the game tied 28-28, the Bears had a fourth-and-1 at the Broncos’ 18-yard line. Fields took the shotgun snap and handed off to Herbert. Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton shot through a hole to the inside of rookie right tackle Darnell Wright and took down Herbert for no gain. “We’ve just got to keep the energy, keep playing fast and physical like we were in the first half, and we would have liked the outcome.”But on third-and-13 with 38 seconds to play, Fields, who finished with a career-high 335 passing yards, sent a pass into the arms of Broncos safety Kareem Jackson, who fell to the ground following the interception to give the Broncos the win.“The safety had depth,” Fields said.
