Last season's opener saw Justin Fields put together an impressive performance as he completed 16 of 22 passes for 218 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 48 yards and two scores. It actually wasn't his best performance of the year statistically, as he had three other games with more passing yards, one of which saw him complete a higher percentage of his passes. However, it was the only time all year Fields played with unflappable confidence.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Fields' season opener showed unflappable confidence despite not being his best statistical game.

Fields' season-opening performance against the Bills—16 of 22 completions for 218 passing yards, one touchdown, 48 rushing yards, and two rushing scores—was his most confident display of the year despite not being his statistically best game; he had three other games with more passing yards and one with a higher completion percentage, but this was the only time he played with unflappable confidence and could have been a signature win if not for a lucky bounce to DK Metcalf that set up the game-winning kick.
