More Tarik Cohen makes more sense than ever for Bears

The Bears had their best offensive game of the season Monday night when they beat the Redskins 31-15, but something was still off.

Versatile running back Tarik Cohen is the team’s most dangerous playmaker, yet he’s still under 100 yards for the season.

“Yeah, probably not,” Nagy acknowledged. “The neat thing, though, is you know we’re in four-minute mode there at the end of the game, and he’s like our biggest fan down there cheering [rookie running back David] Montgomery on.
