Jordan Howard scores game-winning touchdown for Bears over Steelers

Howard had a huge afternoon.

The Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers played an overtime thriller in Chicago, where running back Jordan Howard won the game in overtime.

After a Tarik Cohen touchdown was overturned because he stepped out of bounds, Howard finished off the game with the score.

Howard had a huge afternoon. He had 23 carries in the game with 138 yards and two touchdowns.

The Bears get their first win of the season, largely due to their two-headed monster in the backfield. Along with Howard’s big game on the ground, Cohen had 12 carries for 78 yards.

They collectively had nine receptions for 50 yards through the air.

It’s going to take games like that from the backfield to help the Bears win games in 2017. Sunday proved that.
