Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift scored three touchdowns in the team’s season-opening win, and he was rewarded with NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors.
Swift, who was playing in his first game after signing a fresh three-year contract extension with the Bears, rushed for 124 yards in the team’s 59-37 win over the Carolina Panthers, spearheading a rushing attack that made some history in Charlotte.
According to the NFL, Swift is the first Bears running back to win NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors in a decade, with Jordan Howard having won the award during Week 8 of the 2016 season.
In all, Swift and the Bears’ offense managed to score a whopping six rushing touchdowns, the most they’ve scored in a single game since 1941, according to Pro Football Reference’s Stathead tool. In fact, no NFL team had scored six rushing touchdowns in a game since at least 1950, according to the league.
In all, the Bears racked up 59 points in the game, the second-most they’ve ever scored in a regular season game and the most they’ve scored in a contest since 1980.
Swift and the Bears will hope to keep that momentum going when they welcome the Minnesota Vikings to Soldier Field on Sunday, with kickoff set for noon.
