Justin Fields has always been an elite athlete, and on Sunday at Soldier Field he was able to take the next step in harnessing that talent on the professional stage. Not only did he post a 106.7 passer rating while throwing a career-high touchdown rating, he also set an NFL record with 178 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown on his 15 carries. His performance on the ground was enough to earn him a nomination for the FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week, an honor he is sharing with Derrick Henry of the Tennessee Titans and Joe Mixon of the Bengals.
