The Chicago Bears offense has found an early rhythm against the Arizona Cardinals, where they’ve moved the ball with ease, including a healthy dose of the run game.
With running back D’Onta Foreman inactive due to a personal matter, it’s been the Khalil Herbert show (with some Roschon Johnson sprinkled in).
Herbert has been dominant in the first half, including on Chicago’s second scoring drive. Herbert has eight carries for 62 yards, including a 11-yard touchdown early in the second quarter.
The score capped an impressive 11-play, 90-yard scoring drive that lasted nearly six minutes.

Herbert started the season as the lead back, but he landed on injured reserve with an ankle injury earlier this season. In his absence, Foreman emerged as the team’s top back, and Herbert has since taken a secondary role.
The Bears offense has found plenty of success on the ground and through the air, and Herbert has been one of the standout performers on offense in the first half.
