Running Back David Montgomery extended Chicago Bears’ lead to 32-14 over the New England Patriots as he ran to the endzone in the fourth quarter of the Week 7 Monday Night Football match at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.

The Bears were just inches away from Patriots’ endzone. Bears QB Justin Fields took the ball from his offensive line and gave it to Montgomery who powered his way, unable to be stopped by Patriots defenders, for the touchdown.

This was just the second rushing TD of the 2022 NFL season for the 25-year-old. He has rushed for 62 yards in 15 carry attempts in the game so far.

The Bears dominated the ground game on Monday night, amassing 243 rushing yards, compared to the Patriots’ 70 yards. They also scored two rushing touchdowns and won the game by a score of 33-14 to get back on track.

The Chicago Bears had previously lost three straight games, including one at home against the Washington Commanders. They were defeated on the road by the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings, both of whom have a better record than the Bears. However, Monday night’s win levels them with Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers with a 3-4 record and they are now tied with the Packers for the second spot in the NFC North division.

In the game against the Commanders, which was considered to be one of the most uneventful in recent memory, the Bears rushed for 237 yards, meaning that Monday’s game was  the second time when they ran for more than 200 yards. Montgomery rushed 15 times for 67 yards but could not score for his team.

They now lead the charts with 1,267 rushing yards after seven games and are closely followed by Cleveland Browns, who have registered 1,145 yards so far.
