Breaking down the Bears’ biggest offensive plays in Sunday’s 36-7 win against the bumbling, disinterested Texans: The Bears took a timeout with 11 seconds left in the first half and the ball at the Texans’ 3. On the sideline, quarterback Mitch Trubisky lobbied Matt Nagy for a specific play, and his coach acquiesced. Trubisky lined up in the shotgun with an empty backfield. Two tight ends were split right, while a third, Demetrius Harris, was far left. Anthony Miller lined up to Harrs’ right. Robinson was in the left slot. With cornerback Vernon Hargreaves covering him, Robinson stutter-stepped and ran a shallow slant. The Texans dropped inside linebacker Tyrell Adams between Trubisky and Robinson, but Trubisky led Robinson just enough for the touchdown pass. “[Trubisky] said, ‘I’ll just make it work,’” Nagy said Monday. “I mean, how awesome is that? And then when he does it, that’s a beautiful thing.” So was Robinson’s communication. The receiver talked to Trubisky about what he’d do if the Texans dropped the linebacker into coverage. The Bears hadn’t practiced against that look all week. “We were on the same page, so he knew where I was going to be at right when we got that look… ’ Robinson said. “That’s where we’re taking it to the next level. And for us to do that all across the board, offense, defense, or whatever, it has to be that level of detail, that level of attention to be able to finish how we want to finish.” Said Nagy: “When you have your quarterback and your wide receiver on the same page, sometimes it’s hard to stop.
