At least this would be something different to watch.
The Bears WRs last year would let the ball actually hit them in the hands or chest then drop it...
Factually speaking they actually weren't that bad. Then again, when they have so FEW opportunities - the drops stand out.
Berrian had 128 targets, 71 receptions, 4 drops
of course the 'drop' stat doesn't include cutting routes short, or alligator armin' an attempt.
