Say what you will of Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen's specific and sometimes limited talents: there's no denying that together they create a special one-two punch in the Bears' backfield. For everything Howard can't do as a receiver and explosive tailback, Cohen instead becomes Chicago's home run hitter that run routes and takes carries to the house. For everything Cohen can't do between the tackles to grind down a defense, Howard relentlessly wears on defenders.
As a pair, Howard and Cohen rank right up there with some of the other best back pairs in the NFL, but not quite at the level of the Saints' Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara.
