Burton caught four of seven passes for 36 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-17 win over Green Bay.

Chicago looked like it was heading for another grind-it-out contest when Burton broke through early in the fourth quarter with a 13-yard touchdown grab, snapping the tie and his five-game scoreless streak. The former Eagle started his tenure with the Bears on a bit of a hot streak with four touchdowns and three games with at least 50 yards receiving through his first six contests. He has scored just twice and has not topped 40 yards in a game since. When he's on, he's a valuable red-zone weapon. When he's not, he can produce some duds. Next Sunday's matchup against a middle-of-the-pack 49ers pass defense should help indicate whether he and quarterback Mitchell Trubisky have rediscovered their groove as the season draws to a close.
