LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — For Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears, Monday night’s game at Minnesota will be all about second chances.Fields gets another opportunity against a Vikings defense that knocked him out of the teams’ last matchup with a dislocated right thumb, and the Bears get a chance to prove they can close out games better than they did at Detroit on Sunday.The Lions scored 17 points over the last four minutes to win 31-26, spoiling an otherwise encouraging return by Fields, who had missed four games with the thumb injury.“I think for the most part we showed who we were except until the end of the game,” Fields said. “Focus on finishing better and finishing out the game when it counts and when a drive comes up, making that big play when it matters.”Fields has struggled in close, late-game situations throughout his three seasons.
