It starts to become normal Chicago Bears Quarterback Justin Fields.
Every week he seems to do something amazing that will leave your jaw on the floor. He did it again Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles when he looked to go for a guaranteed sack in the backfield, only to escape, break free and take it down the field for a 39-yard run with a nearly spectacular touchdown.

The only thing that kept it from a touchdown was going out of bounds at the nine yard line.
That run had added significance for the Plains and Bears. In addition to being another highlight reel game, it also gave him 976 rushing yards for the season, setting a new franchise record for most rushing yards by a quarterback. The previous record was held by Bobby Douglas who rushed for 967 yards in the 1972 season.
This season may not have gone as planned for the Bears in the standings, but Fields’ emergence as a star at the league’s most important position makes it a huge accomplishment for the franchise’s long-term vision.
