Running back Chris Polk capped off the scoring Sunday against the Bears with a 10-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Polk was right back on the field for the ensuing kickoff return and he ran down the field to make the tackle.
"I surprised myself on that one," Polk said. "I just had to go out there and make a play. I just wanted to help our team win."
The 5-foot-11, 222-pound Polk has three touchdowns on just 11 carries in 2013. A warrior of a running back, Polk can tote the rock, deliver a block and make a tackle. Which of the three is Polk's favorite to do?
"I would say tackle because big blocks and touchdowns they expect me to get," Polk said. "I'm not known for being a tackler."
