Foreman carried the ball 16 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns while catching three of five targets for 31 yards and a third TD in Sunday's 30-12 win over the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
With Khalil Herbert (ankle) on IR and Roschon Johnson not yet cleared through the league's concussion protocol, Foreman was the lead back for the Bears and scored his first touchdowns of the season in his first three-TD performance since Week 8 of last year, when he was with the Panthers. The veteran back has had trouble even getting onto the field in Chicago and was a healthy scratch for four of the first five games, but after this performance, Foreman figures to have a significant role in Week 8 against the Chargers regardless of Johnson's availability.
He ran for 2000 yds in one of his college seasons. It’s too bad he got hurt a couple times his 1st two or 3 yrs in the NFL…that’s what happens to ball carriers these days who seek and invite contact. That worked in the old days, but now, defenders are simply too big, fast, n strong for RBs to get away with steamroller-style rushing for long. Exception to the rule? King Henry, but even he got cut down in what looked like it would’ve been his best season
