Maturing Anthony Miller ready for take-off

The subject of the season opener against the Packers left Bears receiver Anthony Miller at a rare loss for words.

Do you even remember Week 1?

“No.”

What it was like?

“Nope.”

Just wiped it from your memory?

“Yep.”

That opening game was a tough one for the Bears. After an offseason, training camp and preseason of Super Bowl hype, the offense laid an egg in a 10-3 loss to the Packers at Soldier Field.

But it was even worse for Anthony Miller. Slowed by an ankle injury he suffered early in camp — and an aversion to the nuances of Matt Nagy’s offense — he played just 15 snaps and was targeted once without a catch in the game.
