David Montgomery: I ‘gotta keep trusting it’ despite run-game troubles

The last time the Bears played the Saints, David Montgomery ran the ball only two times.

“Last year, you know, things just didn’t go as planned for us,” he said Thursday. “So this year we’ll have a better plan — just going out playing hard and having fun.”

It will be hard for Sunday’s game — or its plan — to be more of a debacle than it was last year, when head coach Matt Nagy called a franchise-low seven rushing plays in a season-defining home loss.

“I know we need to run the ball more,” Nagy said the next day.
