The six-year veteran needs just 27 yards to become the only Bears running back to rush for at least 1,300 yards in a season other than Walter Payton, who did it nine times.
"Anytime you can have your name mentioned with Walter Payton, it's definitely an honor," said Jones, the NFC's fifth leading rusher. "Just playing here for the Chicago Bears, this is the team he played for and he's somebody that I idolized growing up.
"It would be a great accomplish to get 1,300 yards, but I'm still going into this game with a mindset that we need to finish out strong and finish the season with a win. I'm not sure how much I'm going to play, but I'm definitely going to be playing as hard as I can." |

It's showing what Lovie can do when he gets a real chance to be the man at the helm. Hope to see them in Seattle for the NFC Championship.

I still think Orton should be the starter, 9-4 as a starter. I never said he didn't do shit. I'm talking about how he never got chances to be the head coach until the whole thing where you have to interview african-american coaches. Through all that he got the job in Chicago and has done great.
