Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte doesn't sound happy about being pulled out of the game around the goal line. On one first quarter drive on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, Forte broke off a 15-yard run that got the ball down to the 1. Two plays later, Michael Bush carried it in for the touchdown. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Forte said that that had been happening his whole career and added that it was the coordinator's call. Forte had eight more touches than Bush in Sunday's win.
