CINCINNATI -- Bears’ second round pick Adam Shaheen’s limited contributions on offense has been a hot-button issue, but the rookie tight end more than tripled his workload in Sunday’s 33-7 victory in Cincinnati.
One week after playing a paltry nine snaps (24 percent) against San Francisco, Shaheen lined up for 32 of Chicago’s 76 attempted offensive snaps ( 42 percent) at Paul Brown Stadium. The Bears were technically credited with running 72 plays on Sunday.
Shaheen finished the game with four receptions for 44 yards and one touchdown. His 18-yard reception on third down in the first half tied for the Bears’ fifth longest play from scrimmage.
