With this being one of the better primetime games of the season thus far, this game had potential to be a good one, and it was. With the New England Patriots starting slowly the Chicago Bears took a favorable 10-0 lead in the second quarter, the patriots had to fight back in the second quarter to try to spark a comeback, with Mac Jones returning under center for the patriots and this offense, New England’s offense had some horrible three and outs in the first quarter, and Mac Jones making a horrible throw which turned into an interception in the second quarter.
Justin Fields also looked good with a 3-3 drive and a 3 yard rushing touchdown to cap off the drive. Patriots backup quarterback Bailey Zappe. Came in halfway through the second quarter and led the patriots to a touchdown drive including a very nice 30 yard touchdown reception. With Mac Jones being injured for a couple weeks and Bailey Zappe coming in 2-0 this game as a starter, Patriots fans have quickly transitioned to wanting Bailey Zappe.
Although the Patriots had the momentum going into halftime the second half was all about the Chicago Bears as they shutout New England in the second half and outscored the Patriots 13-0 to blow them out. Although Bailey Zappe showed out in the second quarter he was ice cold in the second half scoring no points and throwing two picks.
There’s slowly becoming a quarterback controversy in New England and with Pats head coach Bill Belichick benching starting QB Mac Jones after throwing an interception and Bailey Zappe playing well, it looks like there could be a problem here.
Bears quarterback Justin Fields looked great as he’s really starting to shine in these last few weeks, although Fields played okay last night he did make some big throws and show poise in the pocket, even against Belichick who’s given first and second year QB’s trouble with his defensive disguises.
