Preview
Miami made the playoffs that year, and they’ve gone 3-1 in their last four meetings with the Bears, but it looks as though Chicago may have the upper hand this year. Chicago receiver Anthony Miller makes his return to the squad today. The rookie is eager to take on Miami, telling the Chicago Tribune that the team has been firing on all cylinders.
“We’ve been waiting on our offense to click,” he said. “Our chemistry is getting better and better every week. Just to see guys eat like that out there, just to watch it, it was amazing. I’m just glad I can be a part of it this week.”
Miller has eight catches for 60 yards and a touchdown this season as the Bears slot receiver. He’s confident that his recent shoulder injury has actually given him the time to recharge. “This recent break we just got really helped me out,” he explained. “I got a lot of rest in and also did a lot of rehab, so I’m feeling pretty strong out there.”
Chicago head coach Matt Nagy told UPI that its important the team take each game at a time. “When you have a good game, it naturally gives you confidence,” he said. “What you have to make sure you prevent is making sure that you (don’t) get complacent with that and think it’s just going to happen every week because it’s not.”
Miami will also see the return of a key player, left tackle Laremy Tunsil. Tunsil suffered a concussion against the Bengals, and was cleared from concussion protocol on Friday. This gives the team an answer for Bears linebacker Khalil Mack, who has been one of the best defensive players in the NFL during the first five weeks of the season. Mack earned NFC Defensive Player of the Month for September, and currently has 17 tackles, five sacks, four forced fumbles, and an interception returned for a touchdown.
