Bears' Swift & Monangai: NFL's Top RB Duo?
22 Jul
Summary
- D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai form a top-three rushing attack for the Bears.
- Swift achieved a career-best 1,087 rushing yards and nine touchdowns.
- Both Swift and Monangai were ranked among the NFL's best running backs by PFF.
The Chicago Bears' offense has found remarkable success in Ben Johnson's inaugural season as head coach, with both their passing and rushing games ranking among the NFL's elite units. The ground game, in particular, has thrived, averaging over 140 yards per game, largely due to the tandem of D'Andre Swift and rookie Kyle Monangai.
This season marked a significant resurgence for D'Andre Swift, who achieved a career-high 1,087 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. Kyle Monangai provided crucial support, contributing 783 yards and five touchdowns in his complementary role. Their effectiveness has been acknowledged by Pro Football Focus, which ranked Swift as the 13th best running back heading into 2026 and awarded Monangai an honorable mention.
With no major offseason acquisitions at running back, Swift and Monangai are set to lead Chicago's ground attack once again in 2026. Coupled with a talented offensive line and the mobility of quarterback Caleb Williams, the Bears' run game is expected to remain a top-five unit.
