One of the biggest breaths of fresh air for Bears fans last week was watching rookie running back Jordan Howard rush for over 100 yards in his first-career start. Howard, who played for Indiana University, is averaging a whopping 5.1 yards per carry this season. The Colts had their hands full last week against the Jaguars’ 31st ranked run offense, allowing 136 yards and a touchdown on the ground. This will be Howard’s first time running the ball in the Hoosier State since his collegiate days, and could be in for a big homecoming.

Advantage: Bears
