If you asked 100 Bears fans if it were more likely that Colston Loveland go without a reception in this game or the Bears score 59 points, the responses may honestly be an even split. Expectations for Loveland's season were (and still are) high, but Carolina clearly had designs to take him out of the gameplan for Chicago in this one.

Loveland shut out with zero receptions as Carolina game-planned to remove him from offense.

Loveland, in his 2nd NFL season, went without a reception in Week 1 despite high preseason expectations. The source explains: "If you asked 100 Bears fans if it were more likely that Colston Loveland go without a reception in this game or the Bears score 59 points, the responses may honestly be an even split. Expectations for Loveland's season were (and still are) high, but Carolina clearly had designs to take him out of the gameplan for Chicago in this one." This suggests defensive game-planning specifically targeted limiting his involvement.
