“I’m going to get pretty vulnerable right here,” Fields said. “This week, I found myself in my closet, crying on the ground, laying down. Not because of the hardships, not because of the troubles, I felt like I was built to handle that and put in place to handle this situation.”

“In that moment when I was talking to my best friend, you know how hard it was, and not wavering faith-wise. I had just gotten a text from my sister and my stepmom and it was just an encouraging texts on just keep going and keep spreading the faith.”

“It was just a sign from God for me to keep going and that I’m in the right place.”

The faith helped the 26-year-old record his second-best game as a member of Gang Green … throwing for 244 yards and a touchdown on 21 completions.

Plenty of people came to Fields’ defense after his boss called him out … including Alex Smith, who said the problem might be Johnson himself.
