Believe it or not, the highest-grade player on the Chicago Bears offense in Week 15 against the Vikings wasn’t running back David Montgomery. Instead, according to Pro Football Focus, it was wide receiver Allen Robinson.
Robinson, who secured four catches for 83 yards, ended Sunday’s victory with an 84.4 mark. A-Rob earned an elite 91.7 score from PFF after Week 14’s win over the Texans. Needless to say, he’s on a hot streak.
As for Montgomery, the Bears’ second-year back was actually just eighth among Chicago’s primary contributors on offense. His 67.9 grade ranked behind players like Jimmy Graham, Mitchell Trubisky, and Darnell Mooney.
Analytics aside, Montgomery was the Bears’ engine in their 33-27 win over the Vikings. He carried the ball 32 times for 145 yards and two touchdowns and looked every bit the part of an elite NFL starter. He’s up to 907 rushing yards on the season and an impressive 4.5 yards per carry.
On the other end of the spectrum was rookie tight end Cole Kmet, who played 64 snaps and scored the second-worst grade on offense with a 48.1.
