What they're saying

"
Justin Fields completed all four of his passes in his first quarter as the backup to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, then watched as rookie Ty Simpson led the Los Angeles Rams to a comeback 20-12 preseason win over Kansas City on Saturday. The Chiefs signed Fields, a former first-round pick of the Bears, to serve as their veteran backup in part because they were unsure whether Mahomes would be ready for Week 1 after reconstructive knee surgery.
