Justin Fields just did something that’s never been done before.

On Sunday against the Packers, Fields became the 1st QB to ever rush for 3 50+ yard touchdowns in a career. Field accomplished the feat in less than a month.

In a loss against the Packers, Fields had 6 rushes for 71 yards and 1 TD. The QB also passed for 254 yards.

Fields has rushed for 140+ yards twice in the 2022 season, with 178 against the Dolphins and 147 against the Lions. Fields leads all QBs in rushing yards during the 2022 season with 905. Fields has found the end zone 8 times on the ground, 2nd only to Jalen Hurts.

Fields has already outperformed his college rushing numbers at Ohio State. Fields finished his Buckeye career with 867 rushing yards in 22 games. In the NFL, Fields has leaned on his running abilities more often. Fields not only leads all QBs in rushing, but he is also the leading rusher on the Chicago Bears, ahead of running backs David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert.
