Fields added on a two-point conversion to Trevon Wesco to bring the Bears-Dolphins game to within three points.
The run marked the longest of Fields' career and the longest run and touchdown run by a Bears quarterback in franchise history. Vince Evans (1980) held the previous longest run with 58 yards; Bobby Douglass (1972) held the longest touchdown run with a 57-yarder.

Fields is a big reason for that.
