The Bears’ first pick in the 2019 NFL Draft hasn’t had the season we expected, but on Sunday he showed why he was worth the hype back in April with some of his best runs of the season, including his 14-yard touchdown run where he carried nearly the entire Viking defense into the endzone.

Montgomery carried the ball 23 times for 113 yards, just his second 100-yard rushing game of the season. Yes, he was playing against backups, but it was a strong performance and will hopefully carry over into the 2020 season. Montgomery finishes the year with 889 yards on 242 carries, averaging 3.7 yards per carry and scoring seven total touchdowns.
