Bears quarterback Justin Fields has emerged as one of the NFL’s most exciting young players, and people are certainly taking notice.
Fields had another record-setting performance against the top-ranked Eagles defense, where he set Chicago’s single-season rushing record for a quarterback and eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards on the season, joining Michael Vick and Lamar Jackson as the only quarterbacks to accomplish the feat.
“I’m going to improvise, try to do whatever I can to put as much points on the board as possible,” Fields said after the game.
Fields completed 14-of-21 passes for 152 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a 119.5 passer rating. He added 95 rushing yards on 15 carries. What was most impressive was how Fields managed to dazzle despite being down his top four receivers and best offensive lineman (Teven Jenkins). Not to mention, all while coming under immense fire (to the tune of six sacks) by a dominant Philly front.
