I wonder why the bears are better at recovering his fumbles than most of the other teams that have the 'lost' stat recorded
Does that stat include fumbles that went out of bounds? Some of Fields fumbles seemed to be just not protecting the ball near the sideline probably figuring if it comes out its just bouncing out of bounds anyways. Not that I'm saying he should be doing that, but its not as bad as open field fumbles. Just trying to figure out why they lose less than a third of the fumbles and most other teams are over 50%. Maybe all those other qb's are losing fumbles on sacks and they're harder to recover.
It's exactly this, more often than not his fumbles are running out of bounds or the center QB exchange being botched (s/o to mustipher, who is at fault for quite a few of these)
