Why It Matters: It wasn't always easy, but Irving eventually broke through with a pair of second-half touchdowns as part of a 125-yard effort against the Bears. It was the fourth time in five games that Irving has topped 100 yards and added at least one touchdown. He's emerged as the clear centerpiece of this offense, and with Baker Mayfield and the passing game struggling, there's no reason to expect that to change any time soon. Irving had been a solid RB2, but his work over the last month-plus has pushed him into RB1 territory.
