The Chicago Bears offense has been bad, even historically bad at times this season. And while a bulk of that falls on the struggles of quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and play-caller Matt Nagy, there’s plenty of blame to go around.
Look no further than the Bears’ receiving corp., who were believed to have been the strongest group at that position in quite awhile in Chicago. Instead, they’re a group that has the second-most dropped passes in the NFL with 17.
“Our drops generally have been … stone-cold drops,” offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich said. “Clean drops. And that’s not good. Every day, they’re doing drills that are working to correct that.”
Even though Tarik Cohen, a running back, leads the Bears in dropped passes, he’s a big part of that receiving game. Allen Robinson actually leads Bears receivers with four drops, followed by Anthony Miller with three dropped passes.
The Bears receivers will look to rebound against a struggling New York Giants defense Sunday at Soldier Field.
