Murrell scores on bicycle kick in stoppage time to help DC United tie Fire 2-2
CHICAGO — Jacob Murrell scored on a bicycle kick in the sixth minute of stoppage time on Saturday night to help D.C. United to a 2-2 tie with Chicago and spoil the scored multi-goal game in MLS for the Fire's Hugo Cuypers.
Aaron Herrera played in a corner kick that was cleared by the Fire but D.C. United retained possession. Matti Peltola passed the ball back to Herrera on the right wing, where he chipped a ball-in to Murrell for an arcing finish that slipped under the crossbar, but over the outstretch hand of goalkeeper Chris Brady, to make it 2-2.

'Rocket-Arm' Justin Fields Gets Backhanded Jets Compliment
'Rocket-Arm' Justin Fields Gets Backhanded Jets Compliment originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Jets signed quarterback Justin Fields to a two-year, $40 million deal this offseason, in part based on the athleticism that got him drafted with the No. 11 overall selection in 2021. Advertisement And that trait has been on display in offseason workouts. Combine that with the fact that Fields is still just 26 years old, and maybe, just maybe, the Jets have their "franchise QB of the future.'' So what went wrong in Chicago? Some have blamed coaching. But others suggest that Fields simply isn't an accurate enough thrower to be counted on. The upside here, as noted by NFL Network's Brian Baldinger? "He looked exceptionally fast," Baldinger said. "He was on the move quite a bit and threw well on the move. You saw him basically piercing the Jets' defense routinely. I thought he threw the ball well on the run. He took all the No. 1 repetitions with the starting offense. Advertisement "They used him in a variety of ways, but running the ball, he stood out." A running QB is a weapon. But so is a throwing one. And that's where another scouting report from minicamp applies. "QB Justin Fields has a rocket arm,'' one beat guy writes, "and is capable of some impressive, precision passes. He may often follow those by sailing throws high and wide." Fields' struggles have always come from him throwing the ball, particularly in the pocket with pressure collapsing. And the truth is, if he can't get that part of the game down? He won't stick as a starter. The signing will have been a failure. And the coaching staff might be judged the same way. Advertisement Fields' "rocket arm'' can be the foundation of his development to the next level, as for now, it's only a starting point.
