Bears Grades: Jeffery, Miller come up big vs. Redskins

Alshon Jeffery caught a team-high six passes for 107 yards, 20 of them coming on a touchdown pass from Jay Cutler late in the first half. Jeffery also gave the Bears a shot at a victory late in the fourth quarter when he broke to an open area in Washington’s zone coverage and hauling in the Cutler pass for 50 yards.

Jeffery thought he had a chance to score, “but I couldn’t read the defender,” he said.

Zach Miller unintentionally raised the question of “Martellus who?” as he caught his fifth TD pass of the season on a nine-yard throw from Jay Cutler.
