Justin Fields rushes for 147 yards in another Bears loss

CHICAGO — Justin Fields is collecting NFL records in his second season with the Chicago Bears. Fields’ rushing total 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. Fields broke the NFL record for yards rushing by a quarterback in consecutive games, topping Tobin Rote’s 281 yards for Green Bay in 1951, according to STATS. Led by Fields, Chicago became the first team in NFL history with five consecutive games of at least 225 yards rushing. “Just got to dirt it and play the next play.” Fields responded with his long touchdown run on third-on-2 on Chicago’s ensuing drive.
