The Bears rank last in the NFL in rushing, averaging just 78.2 yards per game. They've struggled with and without Montgomery on the field. After averaging 138.0 yards rushing in winning their first three games, the Bears have been limited to an average of 52.6 yards on the ground while losing five of their last seven contests. During that stretch, they've rushed for more than 63 yards just once, including outputs of 28, 35 and 41 yards.
"You just keep coming out here every week," Montgomery said, "going to work and focus on … what you can control and going out there being a great team guy, being sure that we stay on top of things, because it will turn, whether or not anybody wants to believe it or not, but it will."
Montgomery concedes that the Bears' lack of success on the ground has frustrated him, as it would for "anybody who's a competitor." He's still seeking his first 100-yard game of the year and has been held under 60 yards in six of his last seven starts.
