It’s hard for Bears coach Matt Nagy to spread playing time the way he wants when the team doesn’t run that many plays. The Bears set season lows with 62 plays and 27:32 time of possession in their 19-11 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Whatever Nagy had planned in the run game sure didn’t happen, so the game offered little clarity on how he plans to proceed without Tarik Cohen. The running backs got just 13 carries; David Montgomery ran 10 times for 27 yards and Cordarrelle Patterson ran three times for 5 yards.
Montgomery played by far his season-high at 85.
