Allen Park — The formula is simple: If you want to beat the Chicago Bears, you’re going to want to stop the run.
With a rookie quarterback and a good defense, the Bears are built to control the clock by grinding it out on the ground. They do that with the formidable tandem of Jordan Howard and his shifty complement Tarik Cohen.
Howard is the bell cow of the Bears' backfield, a 225-pound bruiser capable of carrying it 25 times a game if needed.
