4 things to watch in Chicago Bears vs. New York Giants game: Justin Fields, offense | 2022 Week 4 - ChicagoBears.com

(4) Will the Bears continue to run the ball effectively?

The Bears entered Week 4 ranked second in the league in rushing, averaging 186.7 yards per game. Their 560 yards on the ground in their first three games are their most since 1989 when they had 595. They'll look to continue their success versus a Giants defense that ranks 25th in the NFL against the run.

With David Montgomery ruled out of Sunday's game with an ankle injury he sustained last weekend against the Texans, the Bears will again lean on Khalil Herbert. The second-year pro rushed for a career-high 157 yards and two TDs on 20 carries after replacing Montgomery versus Houston.

"[Herbert] maybe didn't have as many touches in the first couple weeks, and then now he comes and he's ready to rock and roll," said offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. "When he got the opportunity, he took advantage of it. It wasn't like we blinked or thought anything else of it. We think we have a few special backs and Khalil is that. He's one of our rocks and we're lucky to have him."

Getsy appreciates Herbert's patient running style and lauded the 2021 sixth-round pick for his ability to make the first defender miss against the Texans.

"Khalil's got a really cool patience about him," Getsy said, "that he's able to kind of let things happen and make it feel like he's not necessarily going full speed, but he is, which then allows him to make cuts and read off the blocks of guys really well."
