Chicago Bears, Baltimore Ravens and NFL

Chicago's rushing game could continue to be a pleasant surprise with both Swift and Monangai working as a dynamic duo, with Bieniemy's coaching leading the way. The Bears can only hope that the offense comes together as a whole and they can use their running game success to help lead to better complementary football.
With D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai leading the way, the Bears' running game wasn't very good through the first four weeks. But, coming out of the bye week, the run game turned the corner. Swift began rushing the ball incredibly well, and Monangai added on solid production in Week 7 as well.
The Bears being 4-2 and 10th in the NFL in scoring without breakout production from their top three rookies bodes well for an offense that historically disappoints but has actual hope under coach Ben Johnson.
Has head coach Ben Johnson found his new running back duo in Swift and Monangai, similar to what he had with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery in Detroit? It's certainly a solid start, and Monangai feels like he's the perfect complement to Swift in this offense.
During Week 7 of the NFL, the Chicago Bears achieved their fourth consecutive victory, after starting the season with two defeats, by beating the New Orleans Saints 26-14 at Soldie
"The Bears face the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals over the next two weeks — the two teams that have allowed the most fantasy points to running backs heading into Week 8," Jahnke wrote. "Monangai could be a great short-term option at the position, as there are 10 teams on a bye over the next two weeks."
In Week 8, Kyle Monangai and the Chicago Bears face the Baltimore Ravens, Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. He rushed for one touchdown, carrying the ball 13 times for 81 yards, in his previous game. Game Time: 1 p.m.
Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland is still looking to fulfill his full potential as a receiver, but he’s primed for his biggest chance yet.
