It was the first time the rookie surpassed this number since his 82-yard performance in Week 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The running back has yet to play more than 50% of the snaps on offence. He&#8217;s also been given fewer than 10 carries in three of five weeks. But Croskey-Merritt certainly has earned a bigger share of this backfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L.A. has been getting exposed in the running game, so it opened up a perfect opportunity for Croskey-Merritt to take over the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I expect that to be the case once again against the Bears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chicago has allowed a running back to clear this mark in all four games. The defence allows the second-most rushing yards per game (164.5) and most recently got lit up by Ashton Jeanty for 138 yards on 21 carries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t expect Croskey-Merritt to get as many touches as his fellow rookie did, but he&#8217;s the best between-the-tackles runner on the Commanders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s also the chance that Dan Quinn unleashes the explosive back after his breakout performance last weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bears vs. Commanders<\/em> <em>picks made at 3:01 p.m. ET 10\/11\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Bears are fresh off a bye week and return to action against the Washington Commanders.
