Yeah, a lot of reasons I wanted Lamar to play. This is one of them. Another is my undefeated fantasy team has him as the QB. Also I wanted Fields to compete head-to-head with him. I know it's not a direct competition between those two, but I think Fields was really looking forward to the matchup. Also, not gonna lie, a Bears loss wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I'll never root for them to lose, but there are rumors than an embarrassing L means the first in-season firing in franchise history. Plus, I don't care if the Bears give up a top 5 pick to the Giants. Having a 2nd round pick very early could be huge in a draft where you can get 1st round talent in the 32-37 pick range at the Bears positions of need (WR, OL, CB) or it can create great trade down opportunities for a team with many needs and just 2 early picks right now. I’m sorry did you say trade down? Pace is going to package that pick to trade back into the first round if he’s still the GM
