"Matt Forte needs to keep his eye on the ball.

Not literally, of course.

The Chicago Bears running back only has two fumbles this season and, since joining the league in 2008, is second among all NFL running backs in receiving yards (1,985).

No, Forte, who has been justifiably put out this season that he and the Bears failed to come to an agreement on a new contract, has been out of his normal rhythm on the field the last three weeks (gaining 64, 57 and 59 yards, respectively) and needs to guard against losing his equilibrium off the field as well.

Last week against the Raiders, Forte had only 12 carries and averaged 4.9 yards per attempt. But take away his 33-yard run in a first-quarter drive that ended in a Caleb Hanie interception, and he ran for 26 yards on 11 carries."
