Gurley leads Rams past Bears 17-7
(LOS ANGELES) - Todd Gurley was told by Rams coach Sean McVay before Sunday night's game against the Chicago Bears that he was going to be a focal point of Los Angeles' offense. Gurley rose to the occasion and delivered his best game of the season. The All-Pro running back had a season-high 133 scrimmage yards and scored a touchdown to lead the Rams to a 17-7 victory to help them keep pace in the NFC playoff race. On a night when the Rams were missing two of their starting receivers and had a reworked offensive line, Los Angeles (6-4) ran it on 65.4% of its plays (34 of 52). That is the highest run percentage in Sean McVay's three seasons as coach and only the fourth time they have gone to ground more than 60% of the time. Gurley led the way with a season-high 25 carries. His 97 rushing yards also tied for his most this year. Jared Goff was 11 of 18 for 173 yards and an interception with many of his completions coming off play action. The Bears (4-6) ran 22 more plays than the Rams but averaged only 3.6 yards. Mitchell Trubisky was 24 of 43 for 190 yards with a touchdown and interception. Trubisky injured his right hip on the last drive of the first half but didn't come out until late in the fourth quarter, when Chase Daniel came in. Chicago got to 10-7 on its first drive of the second half when Trubisky connected with Tarik Cohen for a 12 yard score. Cohen beat linebacker Cory Littleton in single coverage to score his third touchdown of the season.
