One of the biggest questions about the Bears’ offense is their running game. Their production on the field isn’t an issue. However, it is how they will go about being productive is what stirring up questions. Currently, Tarik Cohen is listed as the team’s first-string running back, followed by Mike Davis at No. 2, and rookie David Montgomery as the third stringer.

Combined, these three backs had virtually no playing time in the preseason, so we have no idea how the load will be shared in the backfield. We know that Cohen will get his touches in both the passing and running games. As for Davis and Montgomery, it remains to be seen.
