Justin Fields offers candid response when asked to compare Steelers' coaching to Bears': 'It's not close'

Quarterback Justin Fields experienced his fair share of ups and downs throughout his 40-game tenure with the Chicago Bears, but he seems to have found his footing in Pittsburgh with the Steelers.

All three of the seasons in which Fields was on the Bears roster, the team's final record was below the .500 mark. A variety of factors contributed to the lack of success in recent years, including the way the roster was constructed. However, it appears subpar coaching might have been one of the shortcomings that plagued the franchise.

Fields worked under a couple of different head coaches and offensive coordinators during his run in the Windy City. After Matt Nagy exited Chicago in 2021, the Bears hired Matt Eberflus.

Eberflus elected to bring in Luke Getsy as an offensive coordinator in 2022. He was dismissed once last season came to an end. At the time of Getsy's dismissal, Eberflus said, "the growth and the development of the offense, to me, needed to be better than what it was."

The 25-year-old's time in Chicago officially came to an end when the team agreed to a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers in March. The Bears received a conditional draft pick in exchange for Fields.

STEELERS' JUSTIN FIELDS REVEALS WHICH TEAMS EXPRESSED INTEREST IN ACQUIRING HIS SERVICES THIS PAST OFFSEASON

During an appearance on his teammate Cam Heyward's "Not Just Football" podcast, Fields offered a candid response during a round of rapid fire questions.

"Pittsburgh. It's not close," Fields quickly responded when asked to choose between the Bears and Steelers coaching staffs.

Fields appeared in 13 games in 2023. He finished the season with 2,562 passing yards and 16 touchdowns against nine interceptions. He also rushed for 657 yards.

Despite his performance last season, Fields and the Bears parted ways. During the sitdown with Heyward, Fields also revealed the three teams he was aware of that expressed interest in acquiring his services via a trade.

According to Fields, the Los Angeles Chargers, Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders were all vying for his services this offseason.

"I’m not sure of all the teams, but there were a lot of teams that already had solidified quarterbacks, and I didn’t want to do that," Fields said. "Chargers were one. Ravens were another. Raiders, they talked a little bit … who else was in there, I don’t know."

Fields and the Bears look to remain undefeated when they travel to Indianapolis this weekend for a matchup with the Colts.

Supreme Court rejects RFK Jr's appeal to be put back on the New York election ballot

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a bid by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to restore his name to New York's election ballot.

The appeal was denied by the country's highest court without comment and without any noted dissents.

Kennedy has been trying to get his name off ballots in key battleground states since he suspended his campaign in August and endorsed former President Trump.

The candidate has simultaneously tried to stay on the ballot in states like New York, where his presence is unlikely to make a difference in the battle between Trump and Vice President Harris.

When he suspended his campaign, Kennedy said he planned to keep his name on the ballot in safe Democratic and Republican states, but didn’t want to be a spoiler in battleground states like Wisconsin. On Friday, however, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Kennedy's name will remain on that state's presidential ballot.

"In about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I'm going to remove my name, and I've already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me," Kennedy said. "Our polling consistently showed by staying on the ballot in the battleground states, I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues."

Since suspending his campaign, Kennedy backed former Trump’s White House bid. 

And since Kennedy's endorsement, Trump added him and former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard to his transition team.
