The Miami Dolphins held off the Chicago Bears, 35-32, despite Justin Fields setting an NFL single-regular-season game record in a breakout performance from the sophomore quarterback.
Fields broke Michael Vick’s single-regular-season game record with 178 rushing yards in the close loss. Only Colin Kaepernick had more in 2012 for the San Francisco 49ers – but that mark came in the NFC Divisional Round against the Green Bay Packers.
