What a day! Justin Fields breaks historical NFL record by a quarterback.

Justin Fields NFL Ohio State Bears CBS Chicago Bears Cole Kmet NFL NFL

In case you haven’t been paying attention to what former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields has been doing over the last few weeks, he’s starting to figure things out — and this week in a big way.

The Chicago Bears were at home hosting the Miami Dolphins Sunday and Fields had himself one whale of a game, one in which he broke an NFL record. Fields had a fine day throughout the air alone, tossing three touchdown passes and no interceptions, but he was almost unstoppable on the ground. So much so that he broke the single-game NFL rushing record for a quarterback by wracking up 178 yards on just 15 carries (11.9 avg.).

The Bears have a lot of cap space they can utilize in the offseason and are attempting to stockpile draft picks for the future, and it sure looks like they are starting to figure out that Fields is the guy to build around with what we’ve seen over the last three weeks or so.

In case you missed any of the action, we have some of Fields’ best plays from Sunday afternoon in the Windy City.
