Dalton hasn’t been in a game since Week 5, when he took part in just one match finish against the Raiders. Fields was officially named the Bears’ starter in Week 3 after a lot of pre-season drama in the Bears organization about who would take the starting spot.

In Dalton’s first return to the field on Sunday, he threw a 60-yard pass to Darnell Mooney to make a touchdown. This is the first encounter for either team of the game.
