Chicago Bears: What to Watch for vs. Washington Redskins Week 3
Can David Montgomery Rush for 100-Plus Yards?
With a bigger effort to run the ball in Week 2, we saw a glimpse of what could be with rookie running back David Montgomery. Chicago ran the ball 28 times against the Broncos, and Montgomery found himself handling 18 of those carries, ending the game with 62 yards and a touchdown. Will Nagy show that same commitment to the running game against Washington? If so, the third-round draft pick could be in for a big night.
In the first two games of the season, the Redskins have allowed an average of 168.0 rushing yards per game. Giving Washington a heavy dose of Montgomery on the ground could result in the Iowa State product recording his first 100-yard rushing game of his young career.
