Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields was sacked six times against the Philadelphia Eagles before the start of the fourth quarter. But in the second quarter, Fields had a massive run that nearly saw him score a touchdown if he hadn't stepped out of bounds.

It was a second and 27 on the Bears' own 48-yard line. The Chicago Bears quarterback dropped back and broke away from a possible sack. In doing so, he was able to make a run down the field and continue to break tackles as he closed in on the end zone.

Although he did go the distance, the QB stepped out of bounds and the touchdown was called back. But it was a remarkable play, no matter the outcome.

In the era of dual-threat quarterbacks, Justin Fields' run stands out among the rest. Others were worried about the quarterback as he continuously gets sacked each game, with some calling for a new offensive line.

Some fans were also wondering how he was able to make a run against a Philadelphia Eagles' defense that has just one loss in the season.

Justin Fields crosses 1,000 rushing yards mark in ongoing NFL season

One of the viral clips from Sunday afternoon's early NFL games included a big Justin Fields run that was nearly a touchdown. But, the 23-year-old also hit an important milestone in this season's stat column.

With over 90 rushing yards in Sunday's game, he surpassed the 1,000 rushing yard mark. He thus broke the Chicago Bears' single-season rushing yards record for a quarterback. This comes just a month after he broke the single-game rushing record in Week 9, with 178 rushing yards.

Fields now has over 1,900 passing yards and over 1,000 rushing yards on the season with three more games remaining. This is a tremendous feat for the second-year quarterback out of Ohio State.

In 12 games last season during his rookie campaign, he rushed for 490 yards and two touchdowns and passed for 1,870 yards and seven touchdowns. The Bears may have entered Week 15 with a 3-10 record, but there is plenty to build on for the organization in years to come.
