News and Notes

News and Notes
Oct 9 Turner leads the league in rushing yards (543) and touchdowns (six), but has been shut down by two of the league's top defenses (Tampa Bay and Carolina). He's going to face another big challenge this week.

Advice: Turner has been limited to only 98 yards on 32 carries in the two losses, compared to averaging 148.3 yards and scoring all six of his TDs in the wins. He may have trouble against a Bears team that limited Detroit to 54 rushing yards last week and ranks fourth in the league in rushing defense (74.2).
