Alshon Jeffery got off to an impressive start against the Texans, topping the 100-yard mark by halftime of his first game. Jeffery cooled off significantly in the second half but his presence was felt and he was the main reason the Bears had a lead entering the fourth quarter.

The Philadelphia Eagles have talent on defense, but they don’t at the cornerback positions. Jeffery and Jay Cutler are going to have a field day and Jeffery is going to surpass 100 yards for the second consecutive game and start entering the conversation as one of the elite receivers in the NFL.
