Justin Fields flexes dual-threat skill set in dynamic start for Chicago Bears
Justin Fields is a big fan of snowy weather it seems.
The former Ohio State star is leading the Chicago Bears against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, and Fields has turned up the heat in the first half. His full skill set has been on display with Fields delivering some big moments with his arm and his legs.
The first touchdown of the game came on a pinpoint throw in the back of the end zone. Fields hooked up with Maryland product DJ Moore right at the back pylon to beat the coverage for the score.
Earlier in the drive, Fields connected with Moore on a big pickup down the sideline with the connection paying big dividends early. Here are those two plays:

Fields would add a rushing touchdown to make it 14-0 early on a beautiful misdirection play. He faked a screen pass to the opposite side of the formation before running a QB draw the other way and finding the end zone.
