Chicago gained only 10 yards on the ground in the first half, but did start to move the chains a bit in the third quarter. Unfortunately, that bit of production wasn’t nearly enough to help the Bears get back in the game. Jeremy Langford found the end zone in the second quarter, and finished with only 11 carries for 28 yards. Langford also ended up committing the third and final turnover by the Bears with a fumble in the fourth quarter.

Rookie Jordan Howard got his first three carries of his professional career, and ended the night with 22 yards, while Ka’Deem Carey was handed the ball only twice for three yards before he exited the game with a hamstring injury.
