Bears QB Justin Fields rushed for a 56-yard TD in his return, and NFL fans lost it

Bears quarterback Justin Fields made his return to the lineup against the Packers, and it didn’t take long for him to remind everyone why he’s one of the most electrifying players in the league.

On Chicago’s second possession of the game, Fields broke free for a 56-yard rushing touchdown to give the Bears a 10-0 lead. According to Next Gen Stats, Fields reached a top speed of 20.15 mph on the score. It’s his eighth carry for over 20 mph this season.

It was the third touchdown run of 56-plus yards for Fields this season. Fields also scored rushing scores of 67 and 61 yards.

This is also the sixth straight game where Fields has rushed for a touchdown, tying Johnny Lujack (in 1950) for the most all-time by a quarterback.

As you can imagine, Bears fans (and NFL fans and fantasy owners alike) were losing it over Fields’ exciting touchdown run.
