Hurry for Murray

Choice matchup against Bears

DeMarco Murray isn't an upper-tier running back, but he sure has a nice matchup this week. Chicago's run defense has been terrible in recent weeks. As bad as they've been, it will be a surprise if Murray doesn't run for 100-plus and a touchdown.

Check out the numbers ...

Granted this game is in Chicago. Weather could be an issue. But Murray seems to be all systems go for a big game on MNF.
