Bears quarterback Justin Fields couldn’t help himself from taking a little dig at the Green Bay Packers and their fans ahead of Week 18’s rivalry matchup.
During Wednesday’s press conference, Fields said that he anticipates the crowd will be pretty rowdy for this weekend’s game… mostly out of boredom.
I know their fans are gonna be loud because there’s not much to do in Green Bay except watch football … It’s gonna be a great environment for us to play in and hopefully we have a great game and get the dub on Sunday.
