The Chicago Bears, led by quarterback Justin Fields, face the Indianapolis Colts, led by Anthony Richardson, on Saturday, August 19, 2023 (8/19/23) at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
WESTFIELD, Ind. — Anthony Richardson wants his Indianapolis Colts home debut to be as impressive as his last performance at Lucas Oil Stadium.Even though Chicago coach Matt Eberflus has announced Fields won’t play and Colts coach Shane Steichen hasn’t said how much playing time his high-profile rookie will get, the two young quarterbacks will once again be all the rage this weekend, as they usually are.
While Richardson stands 6-foot-4, 244 pounds, Fields checks in at 6-3, 226. Both have big arms, are capable runners and their franchises have bet big on them providing long-term stability at a position that has been troublesome both teams. Fields, meanwhile, enters his third season with a career completion percentage of 59.7%, nearly as many interceptions as touchdowns — 21 to 24, respectively — and he’s been sacked 91 times in 28 career games. While he was better in his second season, it didn’t quash the calls from some to trade Fields and start over after Chicago wound up with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.
Eberflus intends to spend the next couple of weeks searching for that solution before Chicago opens the season Sept. 10 against rival Green Bay.
