Luther Burden III's 130-Yard First Half Powers Bears Past Patriots 30-24

Luther Burden III caught four passes for 130 yards and a touchdown before halftime as the Chicago Bears beat the New England Patriots 30-24, though he was not targeted after the break. His 26-yard opening catch set up a field goal, and a 58-yard catch helped by Odunze's downfield block led to a D'Andre Swift touchdown. Burden then turned a short pass into a score behind blocks from Kalif Raymond and Colston Loveland. Coach Ben Johnson said film showed the Patriots corners attacking similar screens. If Odunze gets going too, this receiver group could make noise in January.
