The Bears were ineffective running the ball as a team, but it was essential for their upset win over the Niners.
have made it clear that running the ball is going to be a big part of their offensive identity this season. In Week 1, they lived up to that promise, rushing the ball 37 times compared to 17 pass attempts. The rain probably skewed those numbers a bit, but even with a little good weather regression, the playcalling would’ve still heavily favored the run game.
On those 37 rushes, the Bears only managed 99 yards, giving them a paltry 2.7 yards per carry. David Montgomery was the least effective of the bunch, averaging 1.5 yards per carry. Khalil Herbert helped buoy the group with 45 yards on nine rushes, giving him a five-yard average, plus a touchdown. But for the most part, the offensive line struggled to create space up front, and the ball carriers struggled to gain chunks of yards on the ground.
