Bears Duo Chasing 1,000 Yards: A Franchise First?
8 Oct
Summary
- No Chicago Bears team has ever had two 1,000-yard rushers in one season.
- D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are currently on pace to break this record.
- The duo ranks 96th all-time for rushing yards by a pair of Bears backs.
For the first time in 106 seasons, the Chicago Bears have a genuine shot at seeing two of their running backs eclipse 1,000 rushing yards in the same season. D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are currently off to strong starts, igniting discussions about a potential franchise first.
Their combined efforts have already secured the 96th-best dual-season rushing performance in Bears history, surpassing many older marks. This accomplishment, achieved through only four games, positions them to potentially climb higher in the franchise's record books, which are heavily influenced by legendary figures like Walter Payton.
Fans are tracking their progress with a dedicated tracker, visualizing each game's yardage and explosive runs. The ultimate goal is not only for Swift and Monangai to reach individual 1,000-yard milestones but also to challenge for the record of most rushing yards by a duo in team history.
