It’s been a rough week for Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall. He suffered an ankle injury in last week’s crushing 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills. His trip to New York to film Inside the NFL on a gimpy ankle was questioned by some critics. His status has been in doubt all week. The first half was also a little shaky. He didn’t look particularly sharp in the first half, but as all of the greats do, Marshall stepped up when needed the most.

On a third down play from the San Francisco 17, Brandon Marshall pulled off a terrific catch on a Jay Cutler jump ball throw. Check it out:
