Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears are rolling against the Detroit Lions.
The Bears took the lead against Detroit late in the 3rd quarter thanks in part to a beautiful throw from Fields and in part to the Detroit Lions fumbling over their own feet. The Bears, facing 4th and 13, lined up to draw the defense offside and got exactly what they wanted.
Fields then found Moore and hit him with a perfect ball for 6.
Free play. Fields to Moore on 4th & 13!

Unfortunately for Chicago, the Lions were able to block the ensuing extra point attempt, keeping the damage at just 6 points.
But things just continued to go well for Fields and the Bears. The Lions fumbled just a few plays later, giving the ball back to the former Buckeyes.
And Fields, as he does best, rushed it in himself for 6 a few plays later to give Chicago a 2-possession lead.
