As one of the few players to excel in Matt Nagy’s offense, Bears running back David Montgomery figures to be even better with offensive coordinator Luke Getsy running the show — that’s the theory, anyway.
It didn’t happen in the Bears’ season opener against the 49ers last week. Montgomery was stymied at the line of scrimmage on almost every carry. He rushed for just 26 yards on 17 carries. In fact, Montgomery’s average of 1.7 yards per carry was the lowest of his four-year NFL career.
