Thursday presents an ideal bounce-back spot for Brown, facing a beatable Chicago secondary allowing a league-worst 13.4 yards per reception on the season. The Bears deploy Cover-1 just over 25% of the time, a top-five rate in the NFL, a coverage Brown has historically torched throughout his career. Last season, Brown was targeted on 35% of his routes against Cover-1, while posting a 33.3% explosive play rate and 3.38 YPRR.
