The Bears relied on QB Justin Fields’ legs — and should continue to do so

Justin Fields is going to spend the rest of the season running.

There was no other conclusion to draw after the Bears quarterback ran a whopping 18 times — with only four of them scrambles on called pass plays — in Sunday’s 31-26 loss to the Lions. The 18 runs tied a career high set last year against the Falcons and was a decided change from the game plan earlier this season.
