The Chicago Bears lost to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday in the NFL season opener.
The Chicago Bears lost to the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field Sunday afternoon as the NFL season kicked off.The instant chemistry that Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields and wide receiver DJ Moore displayed this offseason went missing duringMoore ran a team-high 38 routes and was targeted twice, a 5.3% target rate that was the lowest of any player in Week 1, according to ESPN Stats and Information.
"We definitely are calling plays for DJ, and he knows that and he wasn't frustrated by any of that. And you know sometimes it's just the way the coverage dictates to where the quarterback has to go with the football, too." "DJ is an accomplished receiver, and people take note of accomplished receivers," wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert said. "So, we can anticipate that, yes, and we can do a better job of moving him around to make sure he gets his targets. We've got to adjust as coaches."
Some of that has to do with the lack of time Fields had to find Moore down field. Green Bay pressured the quarterback on 42% of his dropbacks. That played into Fields averaging a career-low 4.1 air yards per attempt against Green Bay, and he was 2-of-5 with a touchdown and a pick-six on passes of 10+ air yards.
Eberflus said the Bears have emphasized Fields needing to look down field first to find his receivers before taking off and trying to make a play on the run. The quarterback noted this week that he missed an opportunity to connect with Moore on a scramble play late in the Packers game that left the wide receiver open down field.
