Showing off his dynamic athleticism and improved passing, Justin Fields went toe-to-toe with Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday and nearly led the Chicago Bears to a comeback win.
Fields' rushing total on 15 carries -- which included a dazzling 61-yard scamper in the third quarter -- set a Super Bowl-era record for a quarterback in a regular-season game, topping Michael Vick's 173 yards for Atlanta against Minnesota in 2002. Colin Kaepernick rushed for 181 yards for San Francisco in the playoffs after the 2012 season.
Miami entered with one of the NFL's top rushing defenses, allowing an average of 100.6 yards per game. But it had all sorts of trouble with Fields, who rushed for 125 yards in the second half alone. He has completed 76 of 120 passes for 851 yards and eight touchdowns with two interceptions in his last five games. He also has rushed for 455 yards and three TDs over the same period.
While Fields and Chicago's offense played well again, the defense struggled with Tagovailoa and his two star receivers, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Tagovailoa's 18-yard TD pass to Waddle lifted Miami to a 28-17 lead early in the third quarter.
