rushed for a career-high three touchdowns to help lead the Bears to a 26-6 comeback win Sunday over the San Francisco 49ers at snowy Soldier Field.
The Bears trailed 6-0 late in the first half when they handed the ball off twice deep in their own territory, seemingly content to run out the clock and head into the locker room. The 49ers called timeouts after both plays, but they didn't get the ball back.
Matt Barkley completed 4 of 5 passes for 64 yards to set up Howard's 1-yard TD run, which gave the Bears a 7-6 lead with :31 left in the half.
