at FirstEnergy Stadium. The second-year quarterback finished the day going 14-for-16 for 156 yards and three touchdowns while leading scoring drives of 80, 52, and 62 yards.
The offense that promised to highlight Fields' elite athleticism and big arm finally showed up. Getsy's system, filled with bootlegs and seven-step drops, streamlines what the young quarterback wants to do -- use his legs to put defenses on their heels and then attack downfield with his arm. "Just kind of knowing the situations, knowing the percentages of when to take a chance and when just to take a completion and stuff like that," Fields said of mentality shift."You kind of have to think about that before the play with down and distance."
Fields completed just six passes while being sacked nine times. He had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and no coaching staff willing to change things up to help him succeed.
