Bears quarterback Justin Fields followed up his record-setting performance in Week 9 with yet another record-setting outing in Sunday’s Week 10 loss to the Lions.
Fields completed 12-of-20 passes for 167 yards with two touchdowns and one interception for a 99.4 passer rating. He also rushed for 147 yards on 13 carries and two touchdowns, including a 67-yard score.
But if you ask Fields, he’d rather win football games than break NFL records.
