Justin Fields Says He'll Be 1st Bears QB to Throw for 4K Yards: 'I Plan on Doing It'

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has his sights set on making team history, and he hopes to achieve it during the 2023 season.

No Bears quarterback has ever reached the 4,000-yard passing mark in a single campaign. During an appearance this week on the All Things Covered podcast (h/t Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith), Fields made it clear that being the first to do so is on his mind.

"I will," he said. "I plan on doing it this year, too. I plan on doing it this year."

The Bears single-season passing yardage record currently belongs to Erik Kramer, who threw for a career-high 3,838 yards and 29 touchdowns in 1995.
