This Justin Fields stat vs Eagles proves Bears have a franchise star

In the midst of a miserable Bears season, Justin Fields is shining like the franchise star he is with yet another incredible NFL stat. 

The 11-3 Minnesota Vikings have been dominant this year, but they’ve also been fortunate with games going their way, most notably with the biggest comeback in NFL history this Saturday.

By contrast, the 3-11 Chicago Bears have been one of the unluckiest teams in the league, losing six games this year by seven points or less. There have been so many close ones, largely due to the fact that Bears quarterback Justin Fields is breaking NFL records left and right.

Although the Bears did lose to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15, Fields came out of the game with a stat that no other NFL quarterback can claim.

Fields completed 14 of 21 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns, all while enduring six sacks for a 61-yard loss.

Justin Fields gains another incredible stat during gut-wrenching Bears loss

The 3-11 record for the Bears may come across as just another season for Chicago, but in reality, a franchise star has been born over the past few months. Fields has reached unparalleled milestones in every game it seems, even though many of them have resulted in losses.

In the Eagles game, Fields became just the third quarterback in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season, joining Michael Vick and Lamar Jackson on this exclusive list.

Earlier this season, Fields became the only NFL quarterback over the past 70 years with three rushing touchdowns of 50+ yards in his career. There’s a reason why former Bears like Kyle Long wish they could come back to the gridiron and play with Fields — because if Fields had the right environment, he could thrive the way Jalen Hurts has in Philadelphia.

Bears fans can look forward to a rebuild under new management this year, and the fact that they’ve finally landed a franchise quarterback at last. Until the season is over, Bears fans will have to see Fields give his all and make history through an excruciating season.
