It was the third 100-yard game of the season for Forte, who ended the year with 1,094 yards and five touchdowns rushing. Forte had solid numbers on the ground, but had the worst receiving season of his career with 44 receptions for 340 yards.
Fantasy Impact: For those of you who play their championship in Week 17, Forte came through when it mattered most. He ended his season playing some of his best football of the season, putting up solid stats in each of the last five weeks.
