Before last week, Justin Fields had never thrown four touchdowns in a game in 28 starts as an NFL quarterback. The former Ohio State quarterback has now done it in back-to-back games.
After completing 28 of 35 passing attempts for 335 yards and four touchdowns in the Chicago Bears’ Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos, Fields started off Week 5 by completing 15 of 29 passing attempts for 282 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Bears to a 40-20 win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football.
Fields came out firing in the national spotlight, completing a 58-yard pass to DJ Moore on the third play of the game and following that up with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Moore three plays later.
