Offense: Running back Jordan Howard
Howard's emergence has been the most pleasant surprise for the Bears this season. The fifth-round draft pick from Indiana has become one of the team's top players after beginning the season third on the depth chart. Howard has tied a Bears rookie record by rushing for at least 100 yards in five games, a streak that began in a Week 4 win over the Lions. With Jeremy Langford and Ka'Deem Carey both injured that day, Howard rushed for 111 yards on 23 carries.
The Bears no doubt will lean on Howard in the rematch against Detroit Sunday at Ford Field.
