Nearly two weeks ago during the first half of the Bears-Rams game, Anthony Miller committed offensive pass interference, had a ball bounce off his hands into the arms of a Rams defender, then proceeded to flex and made an “M” symbol with his fingers. After games that consisted of running wrong routes and drops, this was his lowest moment as a Bear.

Since then? He’s been on a tear, becoming more involved in the offensive game plan over the last two weeks, culminating in Thursday’s breakout performance. Miller caught nine passes for 140 yards, including three passes on the Bears’ go-ahead touchdown drive and saw the most targets among pass catchers with 13. Once a candidate to see less playing, Miller is thriving with Trubisky and appears to be refocused as the Bears enter the fourth quarter of their season.
