Fields went to the medical tent before being taken to the locker room. He was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game.

The Bears were trailing 12-6 at the time Fields exited. Rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent took over and was strip-sacked on his first play. The Vikings recovered the fumble and returned it for a touchdown.
