There weren’t many things to love about the Chicago Bears in Sunday night’s embarrassing 41-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The offense was its usual disappointing unit while the defense surprisingly failed the team for the first time this season.
Leave it to a blowout loss for the Bears run game to finally get going with running back David Montgomery, who had his best outing of the season. Montgomery was the lone bright spot on offense — and potentially the entire team.
Montgomery had 103 rushing yards on 11 carries with five receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown. It was Montgomery’s first 100-yard rushing game of the season, and his first since the regular season finale against the Minnesota Vikings in 2019.
Montgomery returned to action for the first time since suffering a concussion against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10. And his return really sparked the offense from the start, as he cranked off a career-long 54-yard run on the Bears’ opening possession.
While Montgomery certainly deserved more than 11 carries, it wasn’t surprising given the Bears found themselves in a deep hole early in the first half.
