When Jordan Howard got four carries in a row on the Bears’ second possession, culminating in a three-yard touchdown run, you could forgive Tarik Cohen owners for getting more than a little nervous. After all, Howard spent the entire week on the injury report because of a sprained shoulder. This was supposed to be Cohen’s game to really shine, following his two weeks as the NFL’s newest sensation.
If those fantasy owners were more than a bit nervous after that possession, they were likely in an all-out panic after Chicago’s next touchdown drive. The team marched 75 yards on nine plays on a drive that began with 5:37 remaining in the first half, ostensibly a time when your pass-catching back would be on the field.
