Bears quarterback Justin Fields is one of the few QBs in the NFL who can get scores a couple of different ways.
Fields threw a strike to wide receiver DJ Moore on the Bears’ first drive, and the second drive saw the dual-threat QB cross the goal line on the ground.
The first quarter has been a dazzling display of mastery from Fields, who once again looks to be in complete control of the game. His second touchdown is evidence of that, as he lulled Atlanta’s defense to sleep in the pocket before taking off toward the left sideline, outrunning multiple defenders as he scampered in for the nine-yard score.

Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier had taken offense to the early 14-0 lead, as he scored a long touchdown on their subsequent drive off a screen pass to cut the lead to 14-7 in the second quarter.
