Justin Fields grew up an Atlanta Falcons fan, but now the Chicago Bears quarterback is looking to show that passing a hometown kid was a huge mistake.
If you don’t know anything about Justin Fields, the first order of business is to understand that he holds grudges and that he never forgets. It can be personal, like another Chicago sports star who wore number 23.
This was fleshed out during the media session Wednesday after practice before the Chicago Bears’ upcoming game with the Atlanta Falcons. A Georgia native from Kensaw, Fields grew up a huge fan of the black and red. His father had season tickets, and Fields idolized All-Pro Julio Jones.
So what is meat? In 2021, the Falcons held the fourth pick behind Jacksonville, New York (Jets), and San Francisco. The three went with the quarterbacks. Trevor Lawrence (Fields’ high school rival), Zack Wilson and Trey Lance. The Fields were there for Atlanta to take it and usher in a new era.
Instead, the Falcons chose tight end Kyle Bates, who undoubtedly had to upset Fields. Chicago would later trade in the draft from No. 20 to No. 11 under former general manager Ryan Pace (now in Atlanta) to take over for Fields. Now, Fields gets his shot to stick it to the Falcons, and also, Bears fans get a chance to stick it to Pace after his poor run of serve.

This is not Kyle Bates’ fault. Please don’t get it wrong, but the Falcons should be kicking themselves after seeing what Fields does, despite being on a losing team. The Bears range in age from 3 to 7, but in recent games, the offense has been exciting to watch; Specifically, the featured plays that Fields has created on his own.
Besides, even if Chicago were to lose this game, if Fields delivers anything like what we’ve seen him do during this last stretch, there will be plenty of intimidation in the ATL front offices after this blunder.
There is no doubt that this game is personal to the Chicago Bears and Justin Fields. Each of them has a balance to settle, and each of them is desperate to win. It will take both sides of football to come together with rage, walk the ATL, and deliver a resounding message. Knowing the fields, he’s all set for it. It’s just a matter of the rest of the forces following him into battle with the same mindset.
