The quarterback tends to get the glory when it comes to team success, but both of these teams realize just how important it is to own the ground game. The Patriots look to get their running game going and keep Caleb Williams off the field, and the Bears will continue to hand the ball off regularly in hopes of owning time of possession.
The Patriots have been almost completely even in terms of rushing vs. passing plays this season. New England has thrown the ball 189 times, and they’ve run the ball 187 times. They have a two-headed attack with Rhamondre Stevenson and Treveyon Henderson carrying the ball 120 times this season.
Stevenson is averaging 3.7 yards per carry and has two touchdowns this season, while Henderson has one touchdown and is averaging four yards per carry in five games. Drake Maye has the other rushing touchdown for the team.
The Bears have been one of the best running teams in football this season. They’ve run the ball eight more times than they’ve passed it. They also have a two-headed rushing attack. De’Andre Swift gets the bulk of the carries with slightly less than half of the attempts this year. Kyle Monangai has 60 rushes this season and is the primary option outside of Swift.
Monangai has missed the past two games, but Roschon Johnson has run the ball 22 times and scored a touchdown this year in his place. Swift has six touchdowns this season, and Monangai has three. Caleb Williams has found the end zone twice as well.
