*Jordan Howard – Noteworthy
RB Jordan Howard led the Bears anemic rushing attack Sunday with 21 yards on 11 carries.
*Leonard Floyd – Noteworthy
LB Leonard Floyd got his first sack of the season in the third quarter of Sunday’s win. “Big monkey off my back,” Floyd told the Chicago Tribune. “Big, big monkey. It was just a spin move. I just let my body move naturally. Quarterback held the ball and I got him. There were quite a few I could have had today.”
Anthony Miller – Noteworthy
WR Anthony Miller earned two penalties against the Lions. One was unsportsmanlike conduct for spinning the ball near an opponent’s feet after a catch, and the other was for batting the ball forward on an onside kick. The Lions used the second penalty to re-kick, then recovered the onside kick and went on to a touchdown.
Bryan Witzmann – Noteworthy
G Bryan Witzmann played every play at right guard Sunday in place of veteran Eric Kush. “That was a choice that both (line coach) Harry (Hiestand) and I discussed it and we just felt comfortable with him,” coach Matt Nagy said. “It’s again, for Kush and Witz, with Witz being new and coming here, we wanted to give him a good opportunity of seeing what he could do, and we thought he did a good job.”
Roquan Smith – Noteworthy
LB Roquan Smith had nine solo tackles, a sack and a pass defense in Sunday’s win.
