Busy Forte tops 1,000-yard mark
DETROIT – To Matt Forte, the Bears’ early game plan was an exercise in common sense.
Feed Forte the ball. Then, do it again. And again.
The plan, while imperfect, helped the Bears hang on for a 26-24 win Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Forte rushed 24 times for 103 yards and a touchdown to lead the Bears, who teamed up to rush for twice as many yards as the Lions (144 to 72).
