Matt Forte needs to step up for the Chicago Bears
Last season Matt Forte bursted onto the scene as one of the better running backs in the NFL as a rookie. But he’s off to a very, very slow start to the season. The Bears are only averaging 64.5 yards rushing per game this season and that’s putting a lot of extra pressure on Jay Cutler. Forte has carried the ball 38 times for only 84 yards (2.2 ypc) so far this season. He has also caught 5 passes for 33 yards (6.6 avg) this year. The Bears are even starting to use Adrian Peterson more in the offense so Forte better gets things turned around soon if he wants to continue being the Bears’ featured back.
