Honorable mention – Offense

There were a lot of players who can be blamed on offense for what happened during the Sunday Night Football game to contribute to the struggles, but there were also some performances that were quite encouraging or eyebrow-raising.

Aldrick Robinson, WR

Only getting two footballs thrown his way by Cousins during Week 11, Robinson once again proved that if you throw the football in his direction that good things will happen more often than bad stuff will.

Both his targets were caught by “Lord Aldrick” and that resulted in 24 yards and one of the team’s two touchdowns on the day. He did everything asked of him and took some pressure off Thielen and Diggs to make plays.

That’s right, an offensive lineman did a good job during this game. When watching the Bears pass rush, it was Riley Reiff, Tom Compton, and Pat Elflein on the left side of the line that really struggled to keep Chicago away from the quarterback.

The fact that O’Neill is looking this good while trying to bulk up for the right tackle spot for the future is a great sign and having him there over Rashod Hill and even Mike Remmers as he was in the past shows he could be a valuable asset going forward.
