3 reasons to be thankful for Bears’ 24-20 win over Lions

The Bears emerged victorious in a comeback victory thanks to the performances of QB Mitch Trubisky, S Eddie Jackson and WR Anthony Miller.

Following last week’s season-best performance against the New York Giants, where Anthony Miller accounted for 77 yards, the second-year wideout came out with a breakout performance against the Lions.

Miller led the Bears with nine receptions for 140 yards, which were career highs, becoming the second receiver this season, other than Allen Robinson, to eclipse the 100-yard receiving mark. Miller was targeted a team-high 13 times and came up with some clutch receptions, including a 32-yard catch that set up the go-ahead score with less than three minutes remaining.

These last couple of weeks have seen the emergence of Miller and his chemistry with Trubisky, and that was on full display against the Lions. While Miller has had a disappointing sophomore campaign, it seems like he’s breaking out at the right time for Chicago.
