Matt Forte Video: Watch Bears RB Shred Bucs' Defense for TD and Earn New Deal

Wes ODonnellOct 23, 2011

The NFL wants its annual game in London to excite English fans.

Fortunately, Matt Forte has a tendency to excite fans on a regular basis, and the Bucs defense (or lack of) made his first touchdown run of the day even more fun to watch.

On a 2nd-and-1 from the Bucs' 32-yard line, the Bears ran a stretch play to the right boundary and Forte did the rest.

No. 22 makes at least four Bucs miss on the play, cuts back inside and works his way toward the endzone for only his second touchdown of the season.

Forte has been a heck of player so far this year, but he hasn't found the endzone very often.

He's averaging 5.3 yards per carry as well as averaging six catches a game.

The run was helped by a great block outside from receiver Roy Williams and followed by another great block by fourth-year pro Frank Okam.

Okam happens to play for the Buccaneers though. 

Big No. 98 can be seen taking out No. 26, Sean Jones, just as Forte cuts back inside.

You have to admire the hustle, and there really wasn't anything he could do, but Jones certainly didn't enjoy taking a shot from his own man.

Forte also wound up in the endzone a second time four minutes later, but that play resulted in a safety.

The crowd at Wembley Stadium would love nothing more than to see a few more scores and hopefully Forte's highlight run in the first isn't the only one of the day.

If it is, the NFL needs to think about sending a few more high-scoring teams overseas. 

Forte's run will be one of the top 10 plays of the day.
