- Cowboys TE Blake Jarwin – out for the year with a torn ACL.
- Stats!
- Kickers in the NFL combined to convert just 71.6 percent of field goal attempts in Week 1.
- Not helping the average – Stephen Gostkowski’s 1-4 FGs & 1-2 on PATs.
- Cody Parkey was the last kicker to miss four kicks in a win, and the Bears kept him for all of 2018. PRAISE SHANK’LOR!
- Not helping the average – Stephen Gostkowski’s 1-4 FGs & 1-2 on PATs.
- Holding calls were down 78% from Week 1 last year.
- Only 18 flags for offensive holding were called in Week 1 2020.
- With 199 total flags thrown across the league.

- Upset!
- Allen Robinson, who feels disrespected in contract extension talks with Bears.
- Because it’s the 21st Century, and this is how things work now, he’s wiped his social media of all references to the Bears, including photos of himself in uniform and the team name.
- There’s even rumours he’s asked for a trade.
- Working in his favour? His career statistics are close to those of Keenan Allen, who recently signed a four-year extension with the Chargers averaging more than $20 million per season.
- Working against him? His previously torn ACL, which got him out of Jacksonville but puts his value into question.
