Mike Tice, Chicago's new offensive coordinator, is committed to the running game.

Michael Bush signed a four-year, $14 million deal with the Bears this past offseason to take some of the load off starter Matt Forte. Tice wants both Bush and Forte to rush for 1,000 yards this season.

"[Tice] said he wanted to do it, and I said, 'Well, you got the right two people,'" Bush said recently.

Only six teams in NFL history have had a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in the same season.
