The Atlanta Falcons must stop Chicago Bears RB David Montgomery

This spot would have gone to the other Bears running back Khalil Herbert, but he, unfortunately, ended up on injured reserve this week, so David Montgomery is the next in line.

Weirdly enough, David Montgomery is first on the team in carries but third in rushing yards, so he isn’t an explosive playmaker like Herbert or Justin Fields, but he will get plenty of carries against the Falcons’ defense.

The Bears are the top running team in the league, which means, obviously, we need to stop their top running back. What good would stopping Justin Fields be if we don’t stop David Montgomery?

If you can get the Chicago Bears to rely on their passing game, then you might be able to force some game-changing plays
