    Despite carrying the ball four times for a sparkling 81 yards in his NFL debut on Sunday night, Kahlil Bell won't receive any extra carries in Week 12, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The 72-yard run he ripped off on his first ever career carry was 11 yards longer than Matt Forte's season-best. Forte has just one carry of 20 yards or longer this season, and is averaging only 3.3 yards per carry, so even if they don't come this weekend, expect Bell to eventually get some extra looks.

    It's all in the wording. "Sparkling 81 yards" in 4 carries sounds great except it's actually 1 run of 72 & 3 for 9 yards. The 72 was nice but it was only cuz the Eagles secondary got trapped up at the LOS. The other 3 are Bear running as usual. :icon_rolleyes:

    Plus it was 72 only cuz Knox came out of nowhere to extend that play for another 15 yards or so. lol

    One long run doesn't make for more carries IMO...
