At the moment, Justin Fields might be the NFL’s hottest quarterback.
He’s run rampant through Bill Belichick’s Patriots defense in a primetime game, made Micah Parsons and the Cowboys look silly, and even had Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel begging him to stop gashing his team on the run so much. With this sort of consistent performance, it sure looks like the Bears have their first-ever star/franchise quarterback.
Against the Lions on Sunday, Fields picked up right where he left off.
On a third-and-goal in the late second quarter, with the Bears looking to knot the game up at 10-10, three separate Lions had Fields hemmed in the backfield. For almost any other quarterback, it’s a pressure and a throwaway at minimum. With Fields, he somehow escaped them all to score an absolutely banana TD on the left side:
More @justnfields magic 🪄

Oh, my goodness? Fields’ entire offensive line is facing him by the time he flips to the left! And he still scored — with a nice truck stick at the end — despite the play looking like a near-certain loss.
By the way, Fields’ TD run put him in position for another notable record on the ground:
A note via my guy @KyleSoppeESPN: Justin Fields now has at least 60 rushing yards and a rushing TD in four straight games.
That's tied for the longest ever streak by a QB in NFL history.

This young Chicago quarterback is scorching hot. It doesn’t like anything can stop Fields as he continues to blossom and make defenses look silly.
NFL fans couldn't believe Fields' incredible TD run against all logic vs. the Lions

I know Justin Fields ain’t outathleticizing athletes that have outathleticised other humans their entire sports careers again is he? Not the dude that gets all the “but his athleticism ain’t gonna help him at quarterbacking” hate?
Nah, can’t be. We musta dreamed that Tuddy.

Shout out Justin Fields. Breaking the Ohio State QB curse should not be taken lightly and he’s on his way
