There were a lot of positive statements being thrown around about Jeremy Langford before the Chicago Bears squared off on Monday Night Football against the San Diego Chargers. We heard how fans would love how Langford runs, we heard how the Bears’ offense wouldn’t miss a step without Matt Forte, we heard plenty of positives, but there was plenty of doubt because we just hadn’t seen much of Langford on the field.
Forte was having another tremendous season before a knee injury sidelined the Bears’ running back. That opened the door for Langford, and we all waited with bated breath to see how the rookie might perform.
