Wolfe scores first rushing touchdown in Bears win

With the game against the Lions firmly in hand at the two minute warning, the Chicago Bears gave running back Matt Forte the rest of the day off.

That allowed former NIU running back Garrett Wolfe to get some playing time. And Wolfe wasted no time Sunday, with five carries for 22 yards. The highlight: a two-yard touchdown run, his first rushing touchdown.

Wolfe’s only other career touchdown came in 2008, when he returned a blocked punt against Minnesota 17 yards for a touchdown.
