Todd Gurley has best game in Falcons' uniform against Bears
Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley rushed 14 times for 80 yards and a touchdown in a 30-26, Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears.
What It Means:
Gurley set a season-high in rushing yards and averaged more yards per carry (5.7) than in any game since Week 10 of last season. He only out-touched Brian Hill 14-10 and yielded a larger share of carries (39.1) to his backfield mates than in any other game this season, but his 5.1 yards per opportunity were also a high-water mark for the year. Gurley will continue to be the Falcons' lead back in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.
Gurley scored a season-high 14.7 FanDuel points in Week 3 and is averaging 11.2 FanDuel points per game. He could have an even more productive day in Week 4 against a Packers defense that is currently just 30th against the run in numberFire's efficiency rankings.
