Offensively, the Bears also have a lot of injuries with three of their wide receivers - DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III - all on the injury report.

Rome Odunze - Stock Up Wide receiver Rome Odunze was not very involved in the offense in the first two weeks after the bye week. ..... While he still has not scored a touchdown since before the bye week, it was good to see the ball going Odunze’s way more. ..... Therefore, the ball needs to keep coming to Odunze as the season progresses.

“It was a good read. (wide receiver) Rome (Odunze) man-to-man with the guy that caught the pick and I just didn’t give a good ball to Rome,” Williams said.

Even with Rome Odunze coming out strong to open the game with three catches on the Bears' opening possession and four catches in the first quarter, Chicago was unable to find the endzone as it settled for a pair of Cairo Santos field goals to take a 6-0 lead. Odunze had the hot hand most of the game, as he led all receivers with 114 yards receiving on seven catches to help jumpstart a struggling Bears passing game. ..... That came after Odunze picked up a 27-yard strike earlier on the drive to keep things going as Swift muscled his way into the endzone a few players later to pull the Bears to within 16-13.

Rome Odunze - Stock Down Wide receiver Rome Odunze looked like he was on his way to one of the best seasons in Chicago Bears history after the first four games. However, since the bye week, Odunze has not been much of a presence on Chicago’s offense. In the first four games, Odunze had five touchdowns.
