Despite the Bears’ massively expensive overhaul of their interior offensive line and a renewed focus on north-south running by D’Andre Swift, they have yet to make progress in their ground game.
The team ranks 24th in yards per game (102.3) and 25th in yards per carry (3.8) — very near where it finished last season — and has just three rushing touchdowns. Coming off a career-worst 3.8 yards per rush last season, Swift is at 3.3 through four games and getting no help from backups Roschon Johnson and Kyle Monangai.
Throughout those struggles, coach Ben Johnson has insisted Swift isn’t the problem.
