Justin Fields Runs in the First Touchdown of the Game After a Brilliant Opening Drive

The Packers may have put the first points on the board tonight, but Justin Fields was responsible for the first touchdown of the game.

Dude is a baller. And he’s not afraid to use his legs.

But that was just the capper of a beautiful overall drive, filled with a trick play/flea flicker of sorts to Equanimeous St. Brown …

… a commitment to the run (with plenty of success from David Montgomery), and solid overall play calling balance. It was refreshing, it was successful. And it was arguably better than anything we’ve seen from the Bears in a game against the Packers in a minute.

BONUS: Here’s another angle from our Bears guy, Luis, who’s in Green Bay tonight.
