Former Ohio State and current Chicago Bears’ quarterback Justin Fields has scored his first touchdown in the preseason.
It was a bit of a slow start for the former Heisman finalist, but he grabbed momentum at the end of the first half by taking the Bears far enough down the field to kick a late field goal heading into halftime.
Fields came out of the half and quickly completed a back-foot, back-shoulder throw Rodney Adams for 25 yards on first-and-15 from the Chicago 35-yard line. It was a gutsy throw, but one put in a place his guy could catch it in one-on-one situation.
Great throw by @justnfields.

The drive continue, and on second-and-goal from the 8-yard line, Fields rolled right, then left surveying the field. With nobody open, he used his legs to get into the end zone easily for his first preseason touchdown as a Chicago Bear.
