Maybe there’s hope for Anthony Miller after all.
The Bears have had trouble keeping Miller on track throughout his first two seasons, but coach Matt Nagy saw a substantial sign of progress in the win over the Giants. It wasn’t just that Miller put up his best game of the season with six catches for 77 yards, it was that he played virtually mistake-free all afternoon.
“I thought he grew,” Nagy said.
Miller has been scrutinized for imprecise route-running and other lapses in self-discipline, most recently a sloppy corner route against the Rams that led to Mitch Trubisky throwing an interception.
