No matter what happens with the Chicago Bears in the standings this season it has to be considered a successful year.
Why?
Because they seem to have finally found their franchise quarterback in Justin Fields.
Fields has turned into a one-man highlight reel for the Bears over the past few weeks and that continued early on Sunday afternoon with this incredible 56-yard touchdown run against the Green Bay Packers.

Fields has dramatically improved his passing the past few weeks, but he is really making a difference with his legs. He has rushed for at least 80 yards in five of his past six games, including two games with more than 140 yards. He has also had three touchdown runs of 56-yards or more, including this run on Sunday.
The Bears still need to do a better job surrounding him with talent at the skill positions and along the offensive line, but he clearly has the ability to be a superstar quarterback in the NFL. And a game-changer. Perhaps even a franchise-changer.
