Bears quarterback Justin Fields has been setting records almost every week over the last month. Heck, his cleats even made the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And once again made history in a Week 11 contest against the Falcons.
Fields accounted for both of Chicago’s first-half touchdowns, a 16-yard passing touchdown to Darnell Mooney and a four-yard rushing score. It’s the fifth straight game where Fields has scored a passing and rushing touchdown.
According to ESPN Stats & Info, Fields has tied Kyler Murray for the most consecutive games with a passing and rushing touchdown in the Super Bowl era.

At halftime, Fields had completed 7-of-12 passes for 71 yards and one touchdown for a 103.1 passer rating. He also had 73 rushing yards and a score.
If Fields eclipses 100 rushing yards, he’ll become the first NFL quarterback to rush for 100 yards in three consecutive games.
