Bears quarterback Justin Fields had his coming-out party in Sunday’s 35-32 loss to the Dolphins, and he made NFL history in the process.
Fields rushed for 178 yards (on 12 carries), the most ever by a quarterback in the regular season. He broke the previous record set by Michael Vick. Fields accounted for 301 total yards and four touchdowns, including a 61-yard rushing score.
