Believe it or not, the Chicago Bears had a chance to beat the New Orleans Saints in Sunday’s wild-card game. Only they’ve failed to capitalize on countless opportunities, have been completely undisciplined and have beat themselves on countless occasions.
One of those came in the third quarter when Bears receiver Anthony Miller was ejected for throwing a punch at Saints safety CJ Gardner-Johnson following a play in the third quarter.
Does that name sound familiar? It should. Gardner-Johnson was the one that instigated things with receiver Javon Wims back in Week 8, where Wims retaliated by throwing a couple of punches his way.

Gardner-Johnson has been an instigator, that much is obvious. But the Bears have been warned about him, especially considering what happened with Wims earlier this season.
Anthony Miller was asked about Gardner-Johnson this week.
“Guys like that do what they do,” he said— Patrick Finley (@patrickfinley) January 10, 2021
Miller has been a disappointment in his third season. While he has all the potential in the world, the Bears can’t continue to hope for him to take the next step.
The Bears trail the Saints 14-3 in the third quarter.
