Justin Fields' Record-Setting Day

Related Topics: Justin Fields, Michael Vick

Rarely does a theory get so beautifully put into practice. Since Justin Fields made his debut last September, the main complaint has remained consistent: The Bears have refused to use his legs and unleash his true dual-threat potential, opening up more avenues for production and easing the pressure on his passing game.

Enter Week 6, where he rushed 12 times for a career-high 88 yards. Then Week 7, where he rushed for 82. Then Week 8, where he got the Cowboys' league-best defense for 8/60/1 on the ground. Which brings us to Week 9. Tired of setting new personal bests, Fields went supernova and did something neither Michael Vick nor Lamar Jackson ever accomplished.
