Bears’ David Montgomery: Run game is ‘going to be better this year’

Running back David Montgomery sat in his car Tuesday, ready to open the door and walk onto a suburban field to throw with Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky and his teammates.

The Bears know, though, that the best thing Montgomery could do for his quarterback — be it Trubisky or Nick Foles — is to stabilize a run game that last year ranked among the league’s worst.

Last season, the Bears were 27th in the NFL with 1,458 rushing yards; 28th with eight rushing touchdowns; and 29th with 3.7 yards per rushing attempt.
