Jordan Howard picked up right where he left off last week by carrying the load on the ground for the Bears once again. Howard ripped off a 57-yard run in second quarter, which set up Chicago’s first touchdown, tying the game at 13-13. The fifth-round draft pick out of Indiana University made his presence known once again in the Hoosier State by rushing for 118 yards on only 16 carries, while catching three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown. Howard also did a good job in pass protection. There was a facemask penalty called on the rookie that prevented the Bears from having the ball on the Colts’ one-yard line, resulting in Chicago settling for a field goal on their opening drive.
