Fields ties NFL QB record; 6 straight games w/rushing TD

Share

On this episode of Unfiltered, David Kaplan is joined by Courtney Cronin to discuss the Bears. Courtney talks about the Packers’ weak run defense.

Justin Fields is officially back. 

The Bears' second-year quarterback missed Week 12's game against the New York Jets, but returned with a 56-yard touchdown in his second drive against the Packers. 

With that touchdown run, he tied Johnny Lujack for the longest quarterback game streak with a rushing touchdown, running for a house call in his sixth-straight game. 

His sixth-straight game with a rushing touchdown also tied Bears' running back Gale Sayers as the last player to accomplish the same feat with 50+ rushing yards in each of those games. 

Another rushing touchdown next week, and he'll add another NFL record to his résumé.

Despite Fields' hindrance to his left shoulder – which the FOX broadcast reported only hurt him on runs at full speed – he continues to display his dominance on the ground. 

He now has three touchdown runs over 50 yards, with a 67-yarder against the Detroit Lions in Week 10 and a 61-yarder against the Miami Dolphins a week prior.
