CHICAGO -- Chicago Bears rookie Tarik Cohen didn’t coin the nickname "Thunder and Lightning" for the backfield, but the on-field partnership he has formed with Jordan Howard certainly fits that description.
With all due respect to prior "Thunder and Lightning" duos such as USC’s Reggie Bush and LenDale White and Virginia Tech’s Kevin Jones and Lee Suggs, the Cohen-Howard tandem might be worthy of the moniker.
And it could be built to last.
Through three games in 2017, Cohen, 22, and Howard, 22, have combined for 354 rushing yards.
