Making much more of a commitment to their running game under first-year coach John Fox, the Bears improved from 27th in the NFL in rushing yards in 2014 to 11th in 2015.
Veteran Matt Forte showed no signs of slowing down at the age of 30 while sharing the workload with promising young backs Jeremy Langford and Ka’Deem Carey.
With Forte due to become an unrestricted free agent, the Bears must decide whether to re-sign him or say goodbye after eight seasons and rely more on Langford and Carey.
