Cole Kmet Held Without A Catch In Week 1
Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet failed to catch a pass in the team's 19-10 win over the 49ers in Week 1. All the preseason hype surrounding Kmet came crashing down in this rain-soaked matchup as the second-year tight end saw only one target in the game. It is hard to measure the Bears offensive...

Dante Pettis Catches Touchdown
Chicago Bears wide receiver Dante Pettis caught a 51-yard touchdown in the team's 19-10 win over the 49ers in Week 1. Pettis was left wide open on a broken play and a scrambling Justin Fields found him on the other side of the field for a clear path towards the end zone. The Bears are... Read More

The Bears... Read More
