This is what Chicago Bears fans were hoping for when the team traded up to draft Ohio State QB Justin Fields.
Fourth-and-1 and trailing by seven in the fourth quarter Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, Fields took the snap and became a magician.
The rookie looked trapped, scrambled, and found open space and a rather circuitous route to the end zone.
Of course, the PAT was missed so the Bears still trailed by one.

Justin Fields (22-yd rush TD)
The probability Fields was expected to score a touchdown from the moment he broke the pocket to scramble?
