Bears' Kyle Monangai: Memorable day in first career start
Share Video
Monangai rushed 26 times for 176 yards and brought in three of five targets for 22 yards in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
The rookie seventh-round pick got the starting call due to both D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (back) being sidelined, and Monangai delivered even better returns than he was already projected for while facing a highly porous Bengals defense. Monangai's longest run of the day went for an impressive 39 yards, one of his three gains of 10-plus yards on the ground. The standout performance certainly gives the Bears confidence -- and perhaps the luxury of sitting Swift out an extra week if he's not fully healthy -- when they draw another extremely favorable matchup for the running game in that of the visiting Giants in Week 10.
