Blinksportsnews247During a play in the third quarter of the Bears’ Sunday victory over the Cardinals, quarterback Justin Fields and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy appeared to get into a heated exchange, but head coach Matt Eberflus dismissed it as a small disagreement over a formation.
According to Eberflus, “they were fighting about under center or pistol.” That could have been the cause. In any case, the play is effective. It’s the identical play.
The FOX broadcast showed Fields ranting and gesturing at the sideline, followed by Getsy muttering something into the headset before the snap on second-and-six with 1:59 remaining in the third. After pulling the trigger on the pistol, he was under instant pressure to release the ball, which resulted in an incomplete pass.
All season long, there has been criticism of the Getsy-Fields combination. Fields claimed in Week 3 that he was being overcoached, and his on-field performance has also not been very good. The Bears rank 27th in passing yards and 21st in scoring.
