Justin Fields punches in first NFL TD as Chicago cuts into Los Angeles’ lead

Justin Fields has looked good in limited action during his regular-season debut, and he has the first NFL touchdown of his career!
Fields did not have to wait long to see some action Sunday night. Chicago gave him a play on the opening drive of the game with that pass completed for 9 yards. Unfortunately, he was removed from the game and a penalty and Andy Dalton interception ended that drive.
Fields has since had a couple of other opportunities to make plays, and he found the end zone in the third quarter of action. It came on a quick option play with Fields running it in from 3 yards out.

Obviously, Fields would love to be the starter, but right now the goal is playing well in the chances he gets. He is doing that in Chicago’s season opener, going 2-for-2 for 10 yards throwing the ball, and carrying it one time for a 3-yard TD.
