Chicago Bears running back D’Onta Foreman scores a 1-yard touchdown against the Detroit Lions during the first quarter at Ford Field in Detroit on Sunday, Nov. 19, 2023.
David Montgomery took his talents to Detroit, and he leads the Lions with 648 yards and nine rushing touchdowns. Even with the loss of personnel, Chicago still is 5th in the NFL with 1,429 rushing yards.
Like Baltimore and Philadelphia, Justin Fields absorbs a good chunk of the Bears rushing attack, and they’d be best served adding talent to the offensive line.
Bears fans have surely gone through a whirlwind of emotions watching the offense this season. While the passing attack has shown up in spurts, the bread and butter of this unit is its fourth-ranked run game. The backfield — featuring a mix of Khalil Herbert, D’Onta Foreman, Roschon Johnson and Darrynton Evans — won’t wow many, with dual-threat QB Justin Fields being the star of this show. However, Foreman, who was nearly a 1,000-yard rusher with the Panthers last season, is set to become a free agent in 2024. He’s been a key part of the Bears’ success on the ground, averaging over 4.0 yards per carry and leading the team in carries (92), rush yards (381) and rush TDs (four). Chicago signed him to a one-year deal worth $2 million last offseason. The Bears would be wise to bring him back to lead the charge once again — regardless of what happens with Fields.
