After running for 178 yards last week, Justin did it again racking up 142 yards against the Lions. Although Fields was far from perfect today, giving up a late pick-six to help Detroit win the game. He also carried the offense and cemented himself as a dual threat this week and a confirmed rising star in the NFL. Fields' list of accomplishments despite the loss is as follows.
Most rushing yards by a QB in the Super Bowl era over a five-game span
Only QB in the Super Bowl era with multiple rushing TDs of 60+ yards
Two longest TD runs by a QB in Bears history
Only NFL player to have 2 pass TD, 2 rush TD, and 100+ rushing yards in a game
Most carries reached 20+ miles per hour in NFL this season (per NextGen Stats)
Leads the NFL in rushing yards by a QB (749)
Tied for NFL lead in rushing TDs by a QB (6)
Say what you want about the Bears this year, but you can't say they aren't trying or aren't making adjustments. This week is a perfect example of letting them grow and make mistakes. We'll see if his run streak continues on Nov. 20, against the Falcons.
