Chicago Bears are now in the hands of Justin Fields as coach Matt Nagy announced on Wednesday. The rookie will be their No. 1 quarterback for the remainder of the 2021 season regardless of Andy Dalton’s health. Fields has shown tremendous improvement over the course of time and has been growing as a quarterback since the day he got drafted by the Bears in 2021. HEAD COACH MATT NAGY ON JUSTIN FIELDS “He’s done everything to show us that he’s ready for this opportunity,” Nagy said [https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/priscos-nfl-week-5-picks-saints-get-upset-again-bills-stun-chiefs-in-k-c-giants-keep-it-close-vs-cowboys/] during his Wednesday press conference. “After this past weekend and the growth we saw with Justin, the discussions we had were to go this direction.” Two career starts were all it took for Justin Fields to prove to the head coach and the staff of selectors that he’s worth being a starting quarterback. Although his first start against Cleveland Browns was a disaster as he was sacked 12 times and finished 68 yards passing, completing six of his 20 pass attempts, ultimately losing 26-6 against them. But just as Nagy said, he has tremendous potential and never fails to improve. And so in his Week 4 clash against the Lions, Justin got sacked only once and finished 209 yards, passing and completing 11 of his 17 pass attempts.

His improvement earned him praises from the head coach Nagy and a place as the QB1 of the Bears for the rest of the season. “This is Justin’s time. We’re so confident moving forward with that,” Nagy said. “He’s earned it.” Justin Fields [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-10-03T183046Z_1057551191_MT1USATODAY16884708_RTRMADP_3_NFL-DETROIT-LIONS-AT-CHICAGO-BEARS.jpg]Oct 3, 2021; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (1) hands the ball off to Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (32) in the first half against the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field. Mandatory Credit: Quinn Harris-USA TODAY Sports However, after watching Fields play for the previous two weeks, Nagy gave him the nod over Andy Dalton. Dalton started off the 2021 season as the QB1 for the Bears but got sidelined with a knee injury. Thus, this gives Fields the opportunity to showcase his abilities as the QB1 for the Bears. However, his potential will be put to test when the 2-2 Chicago Bears face the 3-1 Las Vegas Raiders on their Week 5 matchup.

<p style="text-align: center">The Chicago Bears play out of the NFC North division and have a storied history dating back to the 1920s in Illinois. The franchise subsequently moved to Chicago the following year and is one of only 2 active franchises that got its start from the NFL in 1920. The other being the Arizona Cardinals.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">In terms of their standing within the league, the Bears have won 9 league championships and boast a Super Bowl win. Not to mention, the Chicago Bears have recorded more victories than any other franchise in the league. The principal owner of the Bears, Virginia Halas McCaskey, is the oldest owner in the NFL.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Chicago Bears have gone through several notable eras throughout their history, and the 1983-85 period sticks out as significant. Under the tutelage of former owner George Halas along with taskmaster ?Iron Mike? Dikta, the Bears went on to snag a chip at Super Bowl XX. Additionally, Mike Dikta is the only person in the modern iteration of the NFL to win a chip as a player and a coach.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">The Illinois-based franchise rounded out its 2020 campaign with an 8-8 record placing second in the NFC North. Moreover, this matched their 2019 campaign and is arguably not the most desired finish considering the 5-1 start.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Chicago Bears have had a few iterations in their logo design spanning all the way back to their time in Decatur, Illinois, in 1920.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Bears are under the ownership of the McCaskey family, with Virginia Halas McCaskey coming in as the principal owner.

<h3>NFL</h3>
<h3>History</h3>
In August 1920, representatives from four states: Akron, Canton, Cleveland, and Dayton, held a meeting and formed the American Professional Football Conference (APFC) to improve footballing standards in the country. A month later, they formed the American Professional Football Association (APFA) and played a league with 14 teams. In 1922, they changed the name to the National Football League (NFL).

In 1960, a new professional league, the American Football League (AFL) started as a competition against the NFL. After six years, in 1966, the two leagues announced a merger that would take effect in 1970. During the four years between the announcement and the actual merger, the leagues started playing a Championship game which was called The Super Bowl. Since then, the two leagues have been recognized as two separate conferences within the same league, the NFL.
<h3>Participating teams</h3>
There are 32 teams in the NFL divided equally into two conferences: National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). Each conference is further divided into 4 divisions: East, North, South, and West, with each division containing four teams.

NFL History In August 1920, representatives from four states: Akron, Canton, Cleveland, and Dayton, held a meeting and formed the American Professional Football Conference (APFC) to improve footballing standards in the country. A month later, they formed the American Professional Football Association (APFA) and played a league with 14 teams. In 1922, they changed the name to the National Football League (NFL). In 1960, a new professional league, the American Football League (AFL) started as a competition against the NFL. After six years, in 1966, the two leagues announced a merger that would take effect in 1970. During the four years between the announcement and the actual merger, the leagues started playing a Championship game which was called The Super Bowl. Since then, the two leagues have been recognized as two separate conferences within the same league, the NFL. Participating teams There are 32 teams in the NFL divided equally into two conferences: National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). Each conference is further divided into 4 divisions: East, North, South, and West, with each division containing four teams. American Football Conference (AFC) East Buffalo Bills Miami Dolphins New England Patriots New York Jets North Baltimore Ravens Cincinnati Bengals Cleveland Browns Pittsburgh Steelers South Houston Texans Indianapolis Colts Jacksonville Jaguars Tennessee Titans West Denver Broncos Kansas City Chiefs Las Vegas Raiders Los Angeles Chargers  National Football Conference (NFC) East Dallas Cowboys New York Giants Philadelphia Eagles Washington Commanders North Chicago Bears Detroit Lions Green Bay Packers Minnesota Vikings South Atlanta Falcons Carolina Panthers New Orleans Saints Tampa Bay Buccaneers West Arizona Cardinals Los Angeles Rams San Francisco 49ers Seattle Seahawks
