We wanted to make sure we were cage-rushing him and he had to beat us in the pocket,” Payton said “We felt like if we could keep him there, we would get an opportunity.
“Certainly that’s what happened in the last play where Kareem [Jackson] intercepted it. We had him right where we wanted him in the pocket.”
That said, aside from Fields’ crucial errors on a lost fumble and that interception, he ripped through the Broncos and their league-worst defense for the best passing performance of his career.
He completed 28 of 35 passes and set career-highs with 335 yards and four touchdown passes. His 132.7 passer rating was his best as well. Nonetheless, Payton wasn’t overly impressed by his team beating the lowly Bears.
“I don’t want to sugarcoat anything: [insta]We’re going to play a lot better teams on our schedule — no disrespect to Chicago and Matt, what they’re trying to do,” Payton said. “I’m sure the feeling is the sam[/insta]e [for them].”
Shut up, you dipshit. You're an overrated and overpaid coach made relevant only because of Drew Brees. Without him you've been exposed as a fraud. You claim you wanted Fields in the pocket but when while there where you supposedly wanted him this dude who wants no part of pocket passing still dropped 300+ yards and four touchdowns on your ass. You won because of dumb luck not because of your game plan.
