Darius Slay vs Allen Robinson

This is a classic one-on-one matchup between a high-end wide receiver and a high-end cornerback. If there is any player that Chicago Bears fans can say improved from one year to the next it is Allen Robinson.

Robinson is having an excellent year but is coming off of a one catch game in which he can be credited for a couple of drops. Robinson has not been helped by Trubisky, but after what could be argued a poor game by him, Robinson is going to be looking to respond.

Slay has been up and down this year, and missed sometime earlier with an injury. He appears to be ready this week and had a strong game against the Raiders last week. Slay is a great cornerback and in terms of size, length and speed, he is a great matchup for Robinson.

Last year, Robinson had six receptions for 133 yards and two touchdowns last season with Trubisky at quarterback. If he can do the same, it can sore the Bears to a win that may give them confidence to finish the season strong.
