Is there anything Tarik Cohen can’t do?
The rookie running back has a receiving touchdown and a passing touchdown to his name, but finally added a more traditional score to the record books:

Cohen channeled his inner Walter Payton with a leap from 1-yard out to give the Bears their first offensive touchdown since the team’s Week 6 win against the Baltimore Ravens. It capped a 10-play, 72-yard drive that featured Mitch Trubisky showing off his wheels:

One play after a 10-yard gain on third down was wiped out by offsetting penalties, Trubisky gained 45 (!) on 3rd-and-10 to put the Bears just outside the red zone.
Trubisky’s mobility is one of those factors that gives him the potential to be a special quarterback in the NFL, while Cohen showed off the kind of athleticism that makes him the Bears’ most dangerous offensive weapon.
