Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields entered his third season in the NFL with high expectations, but the former Ohio State standout has gotten off to somewhat of a rough start.

In Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers, Fields threw for 216 yards with one touchdown against one interception. The Packers sacked Fields four times. This past Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Fields threw two interceptions and was sacked six times.

The winless Bears face a tough challenge in Week 3 as the team travels to Kansas City for a matchup against the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs. But two-time NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes offered some advice to Fields during his press conference on Wednesday.
