Quarterback Justin Fields made headlines by seeming to criticize Chicago’s coaching staff, which the team took great pains to walk back. Defensive coordinator Alan Williams abruptly resigned, citing a desire to focus on his health and family. Wide receiver D.J. Moore was filmed seemingly agreeing with an opponent that the Bears were misusing his talents.
