The Facts:
Forte pumped out 80 yards off 16 carries Sunday, but he was more concerned about the touches he didn't receive in the team's 41-21 win over the Colts. Namely those money-in-the-bank opportunities down at the goal line, awarded to Michael Bush. Forte didn't sound happy about it. "It's been happening my whole career here, so I don't know," Forte told the Chicago Sun-Times. "That's (coordinator Mike Tice's) call."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Tice pulled his workhorse repeatedly in goal-line situations. After Forte barreled for a 32-yard gain on the opening drive, he ripped off a 15-yarder to hand the Bears a first-and-goal from the 1. Tice proceeded to feed the ball to Bush two straight times, leading to Chicago's first touchdown of the game. Bush scored again from the 1-yard line before halftime. Forte had eight more carries than Bush and the problem isn't between the two of them. But make no mistake about it: Forte would rather do his own heavy work. Forte owners wouldn't mind that either.
