There was one play Allen Robinson made last weekend against the New York Giants that signaled to Bears wide receivers coach Mike Furrey the 25-year-old was, truly, “back” from the torn ACL that ended his 2017 season.
It wasn’t the one you might be thinking of, if that’s the spectacular David Tyree impression that was a “Sportscenter” Top 10 play. It’s the gritty, tough route he ran on fourth-and-seven in overtime, catching a Chase Daniel pass to convert a game-saving first down, and giving perhaps his most emphatic celebration of the season afterwards (Robinson knowingly chuckled when presented with that thought).
