Former Slidell High Tiger running back Matt Forte shines

Chicago Bears' running back Matt Forte, who prepped at Slidell High and shined for the
Tulane University Green Wave, tallied three rushing touchdowns yesterday, but his outstanding effort came in a 45-41 loss to the Washington Redskins. Forte scored on runs of 2, 50 and 6 yards, while gaining 91 yards on 16 carries. He also caught two passes for 18 yards. Bears' quarterback Jay Cutler suffered a groin
injury in yesterday's loss and will undergo an MRI.
