Welcome to the Understitter podcast, presented by St. Xavier University.

I'm always fortunate enough to be joined by our Bears Insider, Josh Schrock, follow him at Schrock underscore and underscore all.

Of course, our Bears beat reporter, Alex Shapiro, follow him at Alex Shapiro NBCS.

Chicago Bears lost to the Minnesota Vikings at US Beck Stadium 29 to 22.

All this after being down, 21 to 3, then 21 to 10 at half.

All right.

So this was a pretty interesting game.

We're going to get into Justin Fields.

I want to give a quick shout out off top to Carol Santos, who kicked for 50, 43, and 51

yards to keep the Bears in the game with 12 points of his own, whatever coming off of

whatever he's been going on in his personal life.

I want to make sure that I definitely shout out Carol Santos.

But let's start off with, of course, the elephant in the room.

And that's going to be with this when it comes to the Bears for the next couple of seasons.

And that's Justin Fields' play.

Justin Fields went 15 for 21 for 208 yards, one TD, no interceptions, a QB rating of 118.

He rushed for 47 yards on eight attempts with a long of 12 yards. So let's kick it off

with you, Josh. Your thoughts on Justin Fields play this game, first half and second half.

Yeah, I mean, the first half, he was three for eight and was just sitting there like, oh,

it's going to be another week of wasted potential and all these questions. And he looked damn good in the second half.

I think Justin said that he was as calm and as comfortable as he's been in his NFL career.

It's only been 15 starts. But I thought he had a really good pocket presence. He rode the pocket.
