Bears running back David Montgomery was made for Sundays. And he proved it during the first half of Chicago’s season opener against the Rams on Sunday Night Football.
Montgomery has 79 yards on 10 carries (7.9 average), which has included three runs of more than 10 yards — starting with a 41-yard run on Chicago’s first offensive series.
Montgomery is also responsible for the Bears’ first and only touchdown of the game — at least to this point — which came near the end of the first half with a 3-yard score to cap a 9-play, 55-yard drive to cut the Rams’ lead to 13-7.
