4. Allen Robinson continues to be disrespected
Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson has been the true lone bright spot on this offense, posting over 1,000 receiving yards and seven scores. He’s a true WR1 and teams know they must gameplan for him. The television commentators, however, may not feel the same way.
During NBC’s broadcast of the game, commentators Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth were discussing where the receiver would rank in the Chiefs offense. Collinsworth said he would be placed with wide receiver Sammy Watkins, who coincidentally, was the other top wide receiver on the market in 2018 when both were free agents.
I’ll admit, this takeaway is from the booth and not the field, but Robinson has consistently outplayed Watkins over the last two seasons. Robinson’s numbers rank among the top 15 receivers in the league and Watkins has been relegated to the third or fourth option in the Chiefs’ passing attack. Robinson may not have the star power of a Michael Thomas or Julio Jones, but he’s much closer than people realize.
