David Montgomery carries Vikings defense into endzone for Bears’ first TD

The Chicago Bears offense has been dreadful this season, especially in the first half. But on the opening possession of the second half, they’ve found success.

They continued that success against the Vikings as they scored their first touchdown of the game on a 9-play 75-yard scoring drive that was capped by a 15-yard David Montgomery touchdown run, where Montgomery seemed to drag the entire Vikings defense with him into the endzone.

Montgomery has eclipsed 1,000 yards from scrimmage for the season, which is pretty impressive considering the failures of the offense. He’s the first rookie to accomplish the feat since Jordan Howard in 2016 with 1,611 yards.

That was Montgomery’s sixth touchdown of the season. He has 84 yards on 13 carries against the Vikings.

The Bears lead the Vikings 18-6 at the end of the third quarter.
