Scores two TDs in NFL debut

Fields completed 14 of 20 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown and took five carries for 33 yards and another touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against Miami.

Chicago opened the game with five straight three-and-outs, first from Andy Dalton (two drives) and then Fields (three), before the rookie ripped off 17 points over a span of three drives between the end of the second quarter and late in the third. He had a near-interception and a fumble out of bounds early on, but Fields ultimately recovered to finish the afternoon without a sack or turnover, using his speed to elude pressure on multiple occasions, including a 21-yard gain on a scramble. Coach Matt Nagy has said Dalton is the Week 1 starter, but Fields is already starting to apply pressure, albeit with the advantage of facing third-string defenders for much of Saturday's game. It's possible the rookie faces tougher competition in the second week of the preseason, facing Buffalo on Aug. 21.
