Once again, Chicago’s running backs were rarely used in the running game, carrying the ball a total of 12 times. Jeremy Langford started the game and finished with 31 yards on three of those carries, but unfortunately had to leave the game with a sprained ankle. Rookie Jordan Howard stepped in and had a solid all-around game with nine carries for 45 yards, to go along with four receptions for 47 yards. With Langford apparently on the sideline for the next several weeks, Howard looks to be the Bears’ new feature back.

Grade: C
