Amid the rubble of the historically disappointing performance of the Bears’ offense in a 10-3 loss to the Packers on Thursday night was one tiny, barely discernible gem — rookie David Montgomery looks like he’s for real.
The analytics might or might not confirm it, but in just seven touches, the eye test made it pretty clear that Montgomery is the Bears’ best running back and worthy of a greater share of the load. Officially, the Bears went into this season with former
Seahawk Mike Davis and Montgomery as equals, along with wild card Tarik Cohen in the backfield.
