St. Louis Rams rookie Todd Gurley rushed for a touchdown for the fourth straight game Sunday, setting up his score with a highlight-reel play against the Chicago Bears.

It took less than a minute before Todd Gurley started full-blown hurdling people. Oh dear. #CHIvsSTL https://t.co/MiGuUu9LhG

Gurley caught a short pass from quarterback Nick Foles on the game's third play from scrimmage and bolted down the middle of the field. As Chicago's Antrel Rolle came up to meet him, Gurley hurdled the veteran safety but was unable to maintain his footing at the end of the 31-yard reception.

Four plays later, Gurley powered up the middle for a 6-yard score, his fifth rushing touchdown in the past four games and only the second TD of the season on an opening drive for the Rams.

Gurley, the first rookie in league history to rush for at least 125 yards in each of his first four career starts, entered Sunday's matchup fourth in the league in rushing with 664 yards despite sitting out the first two games while rehabbing from knee surgery.
