No matter how terrible the Chicago Bears offense has been over the last couple of seasons, receiver Allen Robinson has managed to thrive.
Robinson has recorded back-to-back 1,000 yard receiving seasons, eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark in the first half of Chicago’s game against the Houston Texans. Robinson had 88 receiving yards in the first half on eight receptions, and it was his 35-yard reception on the Bears’ first offensive series of the second half that put him over 1,000 yards.
This is the third 1,000-yard receiving season in Robinson’s career.
WR @AllenRobinson just went over 1,000 yards receiving for the season to become the fifth Bears player to post back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns. He joins C. Conway (1994-95), M. Booker (2001-02), B. Marshall (2012-13) & A. Jeffery (2013-14).

Robinson is the fifth Bears player to post back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, the others include Curtis Conway (1994-95), Marty Booker (2001-02), Brandon Marshall (2012-13) and Alshon Jeffery (2013-14).
What makes Robinson’s feat even more impressive is the fact that those 1,000-yard seasons have come with inadequate quarterback play, including Mitchell Trubisky and Nick Foles in Chicago and with Blake Bortles in Jacksonville.
With Robinson in the final year of his three-year deal with the Bears, they still haven’t signed him to a contract extension. And it’s clear that he deserves an extension.
