Justin Fields put his quickness and athleticism on full display against the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, and one play he made stood out over the rest.

The Chicago Bears were down 23-16 with 9:49 to go in the fourth quarter. On 4th-and-1, Fields’ scrambling ability was just too much for the 49er defense.

Fields faked an end-around handoff and rolled to his right. He stumbled and managed to cross up a would-be 49ers tackler. He then decided to keep the ball instead of throwing it and evaded two more 49ers tacklers as he moved back to his left. He found open space and made one more cutback before scoring the touchdown.
