Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields clarified his comments about coaching potentially causing his poor performance in Sunday’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, saying his words had been “taken out of context” by the media.
“I’m not blaming anything on the coaches, I’m never gonna blame anything on the coaches,” Fields said Wednesday, according to the “79th and Halas” podcast. “I’m never gonna blame anything on my teammates. … Whatever happens in the game, I will take all the blame.”
He added: “I need to play better, that’s it. Point blank. That’s what I should’ve said in the first place.”
