The (3-12) Arizona Cardinals lost to the (6-9) Chicago Bears, 27-16. How did the Cardinals wide receivers performance compare to the rest of the NFL in week 16?
The Lack of Receiving Yards
The leading receiver for the Cardinals was running back James Conner. He had five receptions for 67 yards and a touchdown. Conner is not known as a big time receiving threat. It is a very rare occasion that he is the leading receiver.
This is already a bad sign for the pass catchers. The second leading receiver was Greg Dortch. Dortch had two catches for 40 yards and a touchdown.
