The Atlanta Falcons must stop Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields

Shocking that an NFL team would have to stop an opposing player who usually has the ball in his hands on every offensive snap. The Atlanta Falcons must shut down Justin Fields, especially his running ability.

Justin Fields, as you have probably heard by now, has had no shortage of success running the ball over the past two weeks. He has essentially did what he wanted against the Dolphins and Lions’ defenses, even though he lost both games.

It is important to stop his running ability so that you can force him to pass the ball, which is usually where he makes mistakes.

He hasn’t been a great passer over his young career and has been prone to make bad mistakes. Making him throw the ball is where you can expose him, but that only happens if you prove you can negate his ability to run.
