WATCH: Justin Fields threw a dart right into the back of a Bears OL’s head
Sunday afternoon saw the first time the Chicago Bears' Justin Fields played his childhood NFL team, the Atlanta Falcons. And as the leader of the NFL's current hottest offense, there was little doubt Fields wanted to come out and light the Falcons up in a dynamite performance.
For the most part, with 17 points in the first 30 minutes (on the back of two created touchdowns by Fields), the quarterback accomplished that goal. But late in the first half, while Fields was trying to give his receiver a chance at making the play, he had a rather unfortunate mishap.
He threw a dart … right into the back of the helmet of Bears offensive lineman Michael Schofield. Like, a perfect pass, too!
The Bears wound up losing the game 27-24 as the Falcons' Younghoe Koo kicked a 53-yard field goal with less than two minutes left.
