Star Eagles OL praises Justin Fields following strong performance: ‘Man, this kid is good’

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jason Kelce had to give credit where credit is due.

Kelce, on Thursday morning, discussed Justin Fields’ stellar performance in last Sunday’s Chicago Bears vs. Philadelphia Eagles game. Despite the loss, the former Ohio State and current Bears quarterback, Fields was able to still make huge runs and Kelce noticed.

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jason Kelce said on @newheightshow that he has so much respect for the way Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields plays the game.

Jason: “Man this kid is good. He had one of the most insane runs I’ve seen. Dude is a freaking beast.”

In Week 15, Fields was able to break the Bears’ single-season rushing record by a quarterback. He ran for 95 total yards on 15 attempts. Fields also happens to be over the 1,000-yard rushing mark on the season, making him just the third NFL quarterback in history to achieve the milestone. In the passing game against the Eagles, Fields completed 14 of 21 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns, earning a 119.5 passer rating, the second highest of his career.

The Bears will take on the Bills on Christmas Eve, Saturday at 1 p.m. ET.
