  • Quarterback Justin Fields has high hopes for a successful season with the improvements made to the Bears' offense and the talent around him.

Deep dives

The Bears' passing game has vastly improved from last year

The Bears had the worst passing game in the league last year, so there was plenty of room for improvement. With the additions of new playmakers like DJ Moore, the passing game is expected to take a big leap forward. Moore, in particular, is seen as a key factor in lifting the performance of quarterback Justin Fields. The low bar set by last year's passing game makes it highly likely that the passing offense will see significant improvement this season.
