From the episode

DeAndre Swift and Kyle Menunga became the first running back duo for the Chicago Bears to have 100 yards rushing in a game each since the Peyton-Suey combination. There hadn't been a duo in the NFL to do it in six years since Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard. These two guys have done it back-to-back seasons now.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Swift had 100+ yards in Week 1; Bears duo repeated back-to-back 100-yard games.

DeAndre Swift had a strong Week 1 performance as part of the Bears' dominant run game. He and Kyle Menunga became the first Bears running back duo to each record 100+ rushing yards in a game since the Payton-Suey combination, and they've now done it back-to-back seasons. Swift benefited from the Bears' strategic use of their elite right tackle (Darnell Wright) and Jonah Jackson, running to the right 64% of the time for 7.8 yards per carry on that side. The source notes that it didn't matter what the call was—wide zone, power, counter—it all worked, indicating Swift's production was part of a systematic offensive advantage.
