Justin Fields and the Bears’ offense reached a new level in Sunday’s 35-32 loss to the Dolphins, with Fields setting an NFL record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 178 on 15 carries and throwing three touchdown passes.
But with the Bears, any offensive renaissance seems to come with an equal decline from the defense. It was uncomplimentary football at its worst Sunday. While Fields was creating one highlight after another, the defense allowed 379 yards, 7.2 yards per play and four 75-yard touchdown drives on the Dolphins’ first five possessions.
