Colston Loveland: Breaking News
Paces pass catchers in playoff win
Loveland secured eight of 15 targets for 137 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday. He also caught a two-point conversion pass. Loveland comfortably paced the Bears in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, and the latter pair of totals also qualified as new career highs. The standout rookie tight end's two-point conversion grab was also key, coming after a Olamide Zaccheaus touchdown catch and bringing the Bears to within a field goal with just over four minutes remaining. Loveland had wrapped up the regular season with a 10-catch, 91-yard, one-touchdown Week 18 effort versus the Lions, so he'll head into next weekend's divisional-round matchup against either the 49ers or Eagles with plenty of momentum.
Racks up catches in loss
Loveland brought in 10 of 13 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Loveland led the Bears pass catchers across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, seeing plenty of second-half action as Chicago scored 16 fourth-quarter points to make things interesting. Six of those came courtesy of Loveland, who recorded a one-yard scoring grab with just under five and a half minutes remaining in the contest to narrow a 16-8 deficit. Loveland finished his first NFL regular season by eclipsing 90 receiving yards and scoring a touchdown in consecutive games, leaving him with a 58-713-6 line on 82 targets across 16 games and affording him plenty of momentum heading into the wild-card round next weekend.
