Khalil Herbert came in after David Montgomery went down with knee and ankle injuries and did a great job picking up the slack in the Bears run offense.
Montgomery went down with what looked to be a bad ankle and knee injury, leaving Herbert to pick up the slack, and Herbert came through with the best game of his young career. He carried the ball 20 times, for 157 yards and two scores. He was shifty, speedy and strong when he needed to be. And the best of all his runs was a career-high 52-yard scamper that set up a touchdown a few plays later.
“O-line did a great job of just opening up a massive hole,” Herbert said about the run. “ did a great job of kicking out. Everybody did a great job blocking downfield. We were looking at the pictures on the sideline, you could’ve drove a bus through there. It was a really big hole, it’s my job to make the safety miss, and I was able to do that.”
Herbert is no stranger to games like this. In fact, he came through in a very similar situation last year. Montgomery hurt his knee in the late stages of Week 4’s matchup against the Lions. Since it was near the end of the game, Herbert didn’t have much time to get established that week. But in the four games that followed, with Montgomery on IR, Herbert shouldered the load and filled in admirably. He carried the ball 78 times for 344 yards and a touchdown.
