Forte rushed 19 yards for 50 yards, adding four receptions for 41 yards. His touchdown with 3:22 left in the third quarter brought Chicago within 21-17.
Fantasy impact: Forte dominated the Bears' running game, as Michael Bush only got the carry six times. He was targeted six times with passes, meaning the ball went his way 25 times. That would be a high pace to maintain for an entire season, but it shows the Bears aren't hesitant to go to Forte.
The downside is that Forte’s 19 carries went for only 50 yards, leaving him at 2.6 yards per carry. That rate will have to rise for Forte’s value to stay high.
