Bear Necessities: Michael Vick discusses Justin Fields breaking his rushing record

Bears quarterback Justin Fields had his coming-out party in Sunday’s loss to the Dolphins, where he also made NFL history in the process.

Fields rushed for 178 yards, the most ever by a quarterback in a regular season game. The previous record was held by Michael Vick, who shared his thoughts on Fields making history.

“It is always bittersweet when those records get broken,” Vick said, via Chicago Tribune, “but that’s what it is all about — the next generation doing it just a little bit better.”

Vick has seen Fields in action, and he’s noticed him progressing with each game.

“I have watched Fields play about five or six games,” Vick said. “I see him growing and getting better each and every week and playing with a lot of confidence. I see the guys rallying around him, and they don’t always get the results they want but that is certainly a team that has a lot of room to grow.

“Justin is only going to get better.”
