Patrick Mahomes Offered Heartfelt Advice to Struggling Justin Fields Before Bears-Chiefs Matchup

In this story:
Justin Fields has gotten off to a rough start so far in his third NFL season, and things won’t likely get any easier for the Bears QB this week when he leads his 0-2 team into Kansas City to face Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
While Fields addressed his struggles on Wednesday and spoke about a new mindset he’s going to take heading into Week 3, he might want to listen to what Mahomes said about him when reporters asked the two-time Super Bowl champ about Fields’s early struggles this season.
Mahomes offered some simple advice to Fields, saying he just needs to be himself and do the things that got him to this level:

That was some pretty classy stuff from Mahomes. Bears fans are hoping Fields can bounce back in what should be a tough matchup against the defending champs.
