Running Backs

For the second week in a row, rookie running back Jordan Howard was shut down. Howard had only seven carries for 22 yards, and was the Bears’ secondary option in the backfield next to fellow running back Ka’Deem Carey. Carey didn’t get too many opportunities to run the ball, due to Chicago trailing for the majority of the game, but did finish with 48 yards on 10 carries. Not much was expected going up against the second-ranked run defense in the league, but seeing Carey’s 4.8 yards per carry average should’ve been reason enough to give the running game more of a try.
