(MCT) — Brian Urlacher has plenty of respect for Houston Texans running back Arian Foster. But the Chicago Bears linebacker stopped short of labeling Foster the league’s top back.

"He one of the best in the NFL, probably in the top three," Urlacher said. "Matt Forte is No. 1. And then Foster and Adrian (Peterson) are probably fighting it out for No. 2."

Foster enters Sunday night’s game against the Bears first in the league in scoring (11 touchdowns), fifth in rushing (770 yards), and sixth in yards from scrimmage (847).
