Atlanta Falcons's Younghoe Koo hit a 53-yard field goal with less than two minutes left to play to defeat the Chicago Bears, 27-24, on Sunday.
Fields said he was hurt on the first play of the Bears' possession following Koo's go-ahead field goal. Fields remained in the game.
Atlanta running back Cordarrelle Patterson, who played for the Bears for two years before signing with the Falcons in 2021, set the NFL record with his ninth career kickoff return for a touchdown. His 103-yard return in the second quarter broke a tie with Joshua Cribbs and Leon Washington for the mark.
"Honestly, man, the fumble — the series before that — was in my head the whole time, you know?" Patterson said."As a football player, you’ve got to move on to the next play. I was happy when he kicked me the ball because I had just had to go out and make a spark for my team. That’s what I do."
