Yes, everyone is going to point fingers for the Chicago Bears loss. How about point fingers at some players who showed up

The Chicago Bears lost in a game many expected them to win. That is going to lead many to be disappointed and find reasons to place blame. However, the Chicago Bears still finished 12-4 in the regular season.

Every loss they had this season went down to the very last play, and it was no different on Sunday. No team is going to play the defending Super Bowl champions down to the wire without a strong effort from a few players.

So while many posts will point fingers and blame specific Bears players here are five Chicago Bears who came out and played above expectations.

Allen Robinson

Allen Robinson was a monster in this game. The only person that could defend him was Mitch Trubisky, and the Eagles pass rush. Robinson led the team with ten receptions for 143 yards and a touchdown. Trubisky was 10-13 targeting Robinson. Trubisky was 16-30 for 160 yards throwing to anyone else. Robinson was doing some heavy lifting.

As you can see from his route chart, he was doing it in all ways.

Robinson finished the game with the most receiving yards in a Bears playoff game in team history. There is no denying that he was worth his signing and stepped his game up when it needed to. There is no blaming Allen Robinson for this loss.
