Allen Robinson plays a self-promoters’ position, but, with rare exception — such as a vague social media post about his contract — he’d rather be known as a pass-catching robot, immune to the storylines of the week.
So it meant something when the Bears receiver acknowledged Sunday what it meant to, for the first time in his career, total 100 catches in a season — and to do it in the city where he spent the first four years of his career.
“I try not to get too much into the emotional side of it, especially with it being in-season,” Robinson said after the Bears’ 41-17 win in his return to TIAA Bank Field for the first time since 2017.
