Ten touchdowns, week by week

Swift scored three times in the season opener at Carolina, then went three straight games without a touchdown. Seven of his 10 have come in the last four games. He has 545 yards on 143 carries, or 3.8 a carry, and the Bears won all three games in which he scored at least twice.

A leaderboard with no room

Swift now leads the NFL alone with 10 rushing touchdowns. Josh Allen has nine. Derrick Henry, Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, Javonte Williams and Jahmyr Gibbs are tied at eight. Gibbs also has two receiving touchdowns, so he ties Swift at 10 overall in one game fewer.
