Despite their quarterback, Mitchell Trubisky, struggling to pass the ball, the Chicago Bears haven't favored their run game either. In fact, in a loss to the New Orleans Saints last Sunday, they did so just seven times for 17 yards. That is going to change.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Bears coach Matt Nagy let his players know that calling just seven rushes was “horse-[expletive]” and that he vows for that to change. The goal is for that to start against the struggling 2-5 Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

That means more of David Montgomery, Tarik Cohen, Mike Davis, and Cordarelle Patterson and less of Trubisky.

Though, the Bears organization continues to stand by Trubisky's side. They believe a strong—or existent—ground game will do wonders for the product he places on the field. There is much truth to that, as balance in the run/pass ratio tends to help out offenses.

A better run game will also help their outstanding defense. If Montgomery, Cohen, Davis, and Patterson can keep the clock moving, that only allows more time for defenders such as Khalil Mack to rest up.

Of course, the Bears don't avoid the rush for a reason: their offensive line must get better. According to Football Outsiders, they are 29th in the NFL in adjusted line yards (3.52), 31st in power blocking success rate (30%), 32nd in second-level yards per play (0.61), and 15th in stuffed run rate (19%).

Running is a group effort. The Bears want to be better at that. Only time will tell if they are.
