While things were certainly ugly for the Chicago Bears offense against the New York Giants, they could’ve been much uglier if not for wide receiver Allen Robinson.
Robinson was quarterback Mitchell Trubisky’s target of choice, and for good reason, as he caught six passes for 131 yards and a touchdown in the Bears’ 19-14 victory over the Giants.
“It’s just about finishing strong — not even me personally, but helping this team push through all the adversity,” Robinson said, via the Sun-Times. “It’s always fun to have a game like that and have everything be clicking.
“Throughout these last five games, [I’m] trying to have a few more games like that. Hopefully it transfers to some wins.”
Robinson accounted for nearly half of Trubisky’s 278 passing yards, and it would’ve been more if not for a Cody Whitehair hands to the face penalty that negated a Trubisky to Robinson 60-yard completion.
“Of course it’s frustrating whenever you have any play that’s negated, but you’ve gotta move on and make more plays,” Robinson said. “Stuff like that happens. There could be a flag almost every play.”
At this rate, Robinson, who has 63 receptions for 764 yards and four touchdowns, is poised to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark this season.
