Until the end, Justin Fields was as good as the Bears could have expected him to be in their 31-26 loss Sunday to the Lions after he missed four weeks with a dislocated right thumb.
He showed no discernible signs of rust. He merged the run/pass aspect of his game as fluidly as he has this season. He accounted for 273 yards of total offense (104 rushing, 169 passing) with a 105.2 passer rating. And he avoided turnovers — until the end.
