The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have faced Justin Fields, currently the quarterback of the Chicago Bears, on two occasions, and handled him well both times. In Week Seven of the 2021 Fields, then a rookie, made just his fifth career start and was picked off three times in a 38-3 loss at Raymond James Stadium. This past season, Fields and the Bears came back to Tampa in Week Two and completed just 16 of 29 passes for 211 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while being sacked six times. Overall, Fields has a 52.3 passer rating against Tampa Bay and has also been held to just 20.5 rushing yards per game. That does not necessarily mean the Buccaneers would love the idea of playing against Fields twice per season, which is exactly what would happen if the Bears traded their current starter to the Atlanta Falcons, who have emerged as the 'betting favorites' to be Fields' next employer. Obviously, while Fields has yet to solve the Todd Bowles defense, he has shown on other occasions that he can be one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the league. Put him behind a strong Falcons offensive line and surround him with such weapons as Bijan Robinson, Drake London and Kyle Pitts and things could get troublesome in a hurry.
