Bad news, Bears

Chicago can't stop run

The Bears are remarkably bad against the run right now. Any competent back will go over 100 yards against them. Hard to believe the run they let DeMarco Murray have last night.

And with three games left, it's looking like Chicago will become just the 10th team (since the move to the 16-game schedule in 1978) to allow over 5 yards per carry.

Can't promise the Browns will have a big-time runner against them this week; Cleveland doesn't have much talent in its backfield. But the Bears are playing at Philadelphia in Week 16, and I've got to think LeSean McCoy at a minimum will run for at least 150 yards in that game.
