Jordan Howard just can’t seem to get it together this year.
Howard’s numbers against the Miami Dolphins don’t look too bad. He had 14 carries for 69 yards, averaging 4.9 yards per carry. Unfortunately, when you lift up the curtain of the box score, Howard gained 34 of those yards on two carries in overtime once the heat had caught up with Miami’s defense. If you eliminate Howard’s 3 OT carries, he had 11 carries for 35 yards, fitting right in line with the 3.2 yards per carry he’s been averaging going into that game. Not to mention, Howard had a critical fumble at the goal line that might have cost the Bears a victory.
