Those numbers through 12 games played all seem to match the Bears rushing numbers in the Neft/Cohen/Korch 1990s Football Encyclopedia
Yes, they do. I just went and checked the same thing myself. So that's where Neft got those stats! Just out of curiosity, where did the clipping come from? Presumably one of the Chicago papers ...

Sorry, Bob, missed this last month. Yes, it was from the Tribune if I recall correctly. They seemed to show stats for the Bears every now and then, but unfortunately I never saw a further update after their final game of the season

Neft didn't find one either. His stats show one "incomplete" game, undoubtedly the final one.
