Justin Fields makes history versus Lions

Justin Fields has officially arrived. Week in, week out, he does what many midfielders haven’t done or haven’t done in a long time, and Week 17 is no different. He ran for 105 yards in one half, which is an amazing feat.

In fact, that’s the highest score by a single player in the past 45 years.

Jalen Hurts’ first quarter javelin 103 yards was the most javelin yards in a quarter by a QB in the past 45 seasons. The only other QB to score more than 100 points in a quarter during that period is Terrelle Pryor, who had 100 in the first quarter against Pittsburgh in 2013. @Eagle https://t.co/7eFC4lOMnb

That record was set by Jalen Hurts early in the season, but was only eclipsed by Fields in the first quarter against the miserable Detroit Lions.

If this pace continues (though 400 yards is almost impossible), he will easily break his own record for most javelins by a midfielder in a single game.

When Detroit Lion’ the defense was impressively poor (just ask the Carolina Panthers), anyway the feat Fields achieved was unbelievable. His 105 yards of dash in one half would be a great game total for a quarterback.

This early year, pain ran through the Green Bay Packers with a 40-33 win. He started the match with 103 yards and then finished with 157 yards at a pace of 9.2 yards per take. It was an outstanding effort.

The third time a quarterback has done this is that of Terrelle Pryor, who eclipsed the century mark in a quarter of a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2013.

With this out-of-the-box effort (Fields total was 105 by mid-second quarter), he’s getting closer and closer to Lamar Jackson’s single-season record.

In 2019, Jackson scored 1,206 yards in an MVP campaign. Fields now need less than 100 yards this week and next week to keep a record.

It should be noted that the original record was set in a 16-game season and Fields is going through an 18-game season, but it’s impressive nonetheless that Justin Fields missed a game because injury.
