The Bears needed nearly an entire half to get into the end zone Eddie Goldman Color Rush Jersey , but getting there with 40 seconds left in the second quarter was enough to put them up at the break.Chase Daniel threw his first touchdown pass since 2013 (and second of his career) to running back Taquan Mizzell and the Bears are up 9-7 after their two-point attempt was unsuccessful. Dating back to last week, it’s the third straight time the Bears have gone for two after a touchdown and the first time they failed to convert.A penalty flag was thrown on the touchdown pass, but officials picked it up without assessing an offensive pass interference penalty on Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson. Robinson stopped, turned around and flashed his hands toward Daniel while standing in the way of linebacker Christian Jones.Daniel has gone 16-of-21 for 153 yards and just missed an open Tarik Cohen for a touchdown on an earlier Bears possession. The Bears kept things pretty conservative for much of the half, but opened things up a bit on their final two drives. Daniel made that look smart by hitting Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller for the only plays of more than 20 yards by either team so far on Thursday.Matthew Stafford has not done much downfield throwing. With no Marvin Jones at receiver, they’ve kept things exceedingly simple in the passing game and Stafford is 16-of-20 for 98 yards. They’ve matched that with 26 rushing yards, so they’ll need to find a way to generate something more threatening in the second half if they hope to celebrate a win along with their turkey. Last February, now Bears tight end Trey Burton threw one of the most famous touchdowns in NFL history in Super Bowl LII: the “Philly Special” to the Eagles’ Nick Foles. One of the gutsiest calls you’ll ever see on such a grand, national stage polished off by a backup quarterback in Foles and backup tight end in Burton. The signature moment of Philadelphia’s first-ever Super Bowl victory over the Patriots, and a play Burton will never forget. Roughly 10 months later, it’s still so ingrained in Burton’s mind that he earnestly admitted he couldn’t execute the same kind of play against the Giants last Sunday. That’s why Tarik Cohen was the man to eventually throw a touchdown to Anthony Miller on what the Bears called their “Oompah Loompa”. Burton’s mental state precluded him from doing so, so the Bears had to turn to other options. It was when the Bears came to installing the play in their playbook under Matt Nagy way back in October Marcus Cooper Jersey , that Burton said he had “crazy anxiety” over being the focal point again, according to WGN’s Josh Frydman. “I was kind of freaking out a bit because a ton of unbelievable memories come to mind from the Super Bowl,” Burton said. “We were playing the Patriots at the time, we wanted to run it then ... I just couldn’t. Physically, there was some type of block, wasn’t letting me do it.”“I told Nagy, ‘hey coach, I’m having crazy anxiety,’” Burton continued. “Thankfully he said no big deal, I appreciate you letting me know.”It can be difficult to confront your past in such a poignant fashion, particularly when it’s your career-crowning achievement to this point against the same exact team that let you accomplish it. The fact that Burton struggled with reliving his memory and having to recreate the same magic out of rampant anxiety isn’t surprising, and is also entirely okay. It’s a reminder that as freakish as professional athletes are physically https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Kyle-Fuller-Jersey , they’re human. They’re just as susceptible to the same mental pitfalls, intense rationalizations, and insecurities as anyone that isn’t a world class athlete accomplishing incredible physical feats on a regular basis. They go through the same struggles any of us can face through our own mental imbalances through any variety of obstacles. They can, indeed, often put those self-imposed walls up themselves, too. Professional athletes, NFL players, aren’t infallible or invincible because they can sky over a defender for an acrobatic catch or effortlessly plow through 300-pound men. They’re vulnerable. They’re apprehensive. They’re riddled with angst, and sometimes on a regular basis. They’re human. The only difference between athletes such as Burton and a person not playing professional sports is that you wouldn’t think of the athletes having such relatable weaknesses, because they rarely get the opportunity to display that side of their persona. Those on the outside looking in may think that because a man plays football at the highest level, it then means he doesn’t go through the same roadblocks anyone else does. Or, that he isn’t allowed to Bryce Callahan Color Rush Jersey , especially in such a macho sport like football oft-treated like war in terms of seriousness. To some, players are supposed to venture into the Thunder Dome and not utter a word about it. It’s not war. It’s a game, and football players aren’t super soldiers.Athletes like Burton are propped up and placed on their platforms and are then regarded as demi-gods forever until proven otherwise. Sometimes even if proven otherwise. An unfair distinction to make for any person. It speaks well upon Burton for sharing his relatable story while fully knowing the stigmas behind mental health, and amidst a pervasive, toxic football culture that’s evolving. It also speaks well upon Nagy as a coach and leader for actually listening to Burton and not telling him to “rub some dirt” on his anxiety, or so to speak. It’s the smallest gestures that matter in moving the needle behind changing not only a team’s culture, but in seeing anxiety and poor mental health as something that can eat away at anyone. Even a 236-pound man like Burton behind one of the most famous plays in sports history.
