The 2021 Chicago Bears season was highlighted by the exciting debut of first-round draft pick Justin Fields, who showed flashes of playmaking potential and athleticism. The team also celebrated a historic milestone as linebacker Robert Quinn set a new franchise record with 18.5 sacks, surpassing Richard Dent's legendary mark. Despite a 6-11 finish, the season featured several bright spots, including Pro Bowl selections for Quinn and return specialist Jakeem Grant. The 11th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and a standout dual-threat quarterback at Ohio State, Justin Fields set the single-game regular-season record for quarterback rushing yards during his tenure with the Chicago Bears.
