5 signs of growth in Chicago Bears offense

4. Getting Cordarelle Patterson involved

Tarik Cohen was affected by the additions of Miller and Burton and Patterson was as well. These two became more role players who can be used in certain spots rather than integral parts of the offense.

Last week, Cohen was directly in the slot. This week, he was all over the field, which creates mismatches and havoc for the defense pre-snap.

The same can be said for Patterson. Patterson was a running back, receiver, and even filled the Trey Burton role as a motion player pre-snap. That is a lot on the plate for a player many considered a bust who was signed for special teams purposes.

Matt Nagy has a plan on offense for Patterson, we know this. However, the offense cannot revolve around Patterson. With all of the skill players in their roles, you were able to see Nagy pick his spots with Patterson. With that, you saw a field flipping play where Patterson was able to break a huge run.

Patterson is great for an offense in doses, and we will continue to see him add splash plays all season.
