It’s reasonable to show some frustration in Jordan Howard and the Bears, especially after (likely) spending a 2nd round pick on the second-year back. If not for being salvaged by a touchdown, Howard’s week 1 performance would’ve been widely considered a disappointment. Week 2’s outcome only backed up that initial fear.
The sudden emergence of Tarik Cohen in week one – 113 total yards on 5 carries and 8 catches – has caused many people to jump ship on the Bears’ lead runnig back. Howard has led the team in carries over both games so far, but he has not quite produced as expected.
