In retrospect, Justin Fields thinks he should have taken more deep shots rather than checking down against the Packers on Sunday.

“I feel like I was a little bit too conservative at times,” he said Wednesday.

Fields wasn’t saying the play-calling was conservative; rather, he said, he needed to trust his receivers when making his reads down the field. That’s easier to do against man defense than zone, though, and the Packers played their base zone defense on all but one play.

Most teams in the NFL will try to play Fields the same way; zone defense typically helps to contain scrambling quarterbacks.

Fields went 24-for-37 for 216 yards, one touchdown, one interception and a 78.2 passer rating Sunday — though much of his success came in the fourth quarter. After throwing a pick-six with about 13 minutes to play that put the Packers up by 24, Fields went 9-for-16 for 72 yards.
