Wide Receivers/Tight Ends
Things were looking great for Alshon Jeffery, who had 105 receiving yards in the first half. Jeffery drew a pass interference call, which led to the Bears’ first touchdown of the game, and later caught a 54-yard pass to put Chicago in position to take a 14-10 lead going into halftime. However, Jeffery didn’t have a single catch in the second half, and did have a crucial drop on a third-and-seven in the third quarter. Kevin White’s anticipated NFL debut was less than mediocre at best. White ran the wrong route, which resulted in Cutler’s interception at the start of the second half, and pretty much helped set the tone for the rest of the game. The West Virginia product finished his first professional game with three catches for 34 yards. Eddie Royal looked like he could be reverting to his old self, ending up with four receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown. Tight end Zach Miller was virtually invisible with three grabs of his own for 14 yards.
