Lions notes: Defensive focus turns to trying to contain Bears' Justin Fields

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions know exactly what Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is capable of doing with his feet. In an earlier meeting between the two teams this season, the second-year, dual-threat passer racked up 147 rushing yards and two touchdowns on a combination of 13 designed runs and broken pass plays.

And the Lions are hardly the only team to struggle bottling up Fields. The week before the burst of production against Detroit, he set the NFL's regular-season, single-game rushing record for a quarterback, gaining 178 yards on the ground against the Miami Dolphins.
