The Baltimore Ravens have agreed to trade for Roquan Smith from the Baltimore Ravens for a second rounder and fifth rounder.

Smith has been second-team All-Pro in each of the past two seasons. Smith requested a trade from the Bears before the start of the season after they were unable to agree to an extension.

The Bears selected Smith with the eighth overall pick in the 2018 draft.

Bill Belichick moved into sole possession of second place on the all-time wins list as the visiting New England Patriots defeated the New York Jets 22-17 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Belichick now has 325 wins (regular season and postseason), with Sunday's game breaking a tie with Hall of Famer George Halas, the longtime Chicago Bears coach (40 years). Don Shula holds the all-time mark with 347 victories.

The Philadelphia Eagles have traded for Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears for a fourth round pick.

Quinn joined the Bears in 2020 on a five-year, $70 million contract. Last season, Quinn was selected to his first Pro Bowl.

Ryan Poles expressed support for Justin Fields during an impromptu news conference at Gillette Stadium hours before the Chicago Bears beat the New England Patriots 33-14 on Monday Night Football.

"I know Justin has been a big topic and his development," Poles said. "And we're encouraged with the progress that is there. It's not on the statistics and on the paper all the time, but he is getting better in a lot of different areas. I think as a whole, we've got to continue to play better around him as well to allow him to keep playing well and get his confidence going and execute at a high level."

On Monday night, Fields threw for 179 yards with one passing touchdown and an interception. He also rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown.

Poles said he will be looking at "a few different things" in his evaluation of Fields over the Bears' next 11 games.

"How he's being used? Are we putting him in the position where he can be successful? And then the execution and the details of what he's being asked to do and really speeding up to the game and making decisions quicker," Poles said. "But again, the beautiful thing about football, it's reliant on everybody else. As a whole, we have to improve, and I think we'll see that everyone stats to get better and then we'll start to ascend."

Justin Fields expressed frustration with the status of the Chicago Bears after the team's loss to the Washington Commanders on Thursday night.

Fields took a number of hits as the Bears dropped their third-straight game.

"We always get told that 'we're almost there, we're almost there,'" Fields said. "Me, personally, I'm tired of being almost there. I'm tired of being just this close. I feel like I've been hearing it for so long now. At the end of the day, all you can do is get back to work. That's the only reaction you have. You live and you learn. Just get back next week and keep going, keep getting better."

For the second time in three games, the Bears failed to score on three trips inside the red zone.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Bears are the second team this season to accumulate at least 390 yards of offense and less than 10 points in a game.

Justin Fields ranks last in a number of quarterback metrics this season, but Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy doesn't believe the young QB has had a difficult month.

Fields ranks last in the NFL in completions (34), attempts (67), passer rating (58.7) and interception percentage (6). 

The Bears rank 32nd in total passing and passing yards per game.

"I don't think he's had a rough month," Getsy said. "I think he's gotten better each week. I think he's growing tremendously. And you know, it's not easy. We're playing good football teams, and it's not easy to become the level of quarterback that he wants to become, and I know that he can become.

"The important thing is that we stay focused, keep our eyes on that progress or on that process and we make sure we get better each and every week and I believe that we're in that phase."
