Rookie cornerback shuts down Brandon Marshall

A Bears' wide receiver posted a franchise-record 249 yards Week 13 at Minnesota. Sadly, that wide receiver was not Brandon Marshall.

Marshall finished with just four catches for 45 yards, as teammate Alshon Jeffery went off for 12 catches for 249 yards and two touchdowns.Marshall had trouble getting open because of Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes.

Marshall was targeted nine times, which trailed only Jeffery's 15 targets. However, Rhodes prevented him from making a big play, which included a 19-yard touchdown in the first half that was batted away by the rookie cornerback.

Marshall has finished with less than five catches and 40 yards in two of his last three games. Sunday was just the third time in his last eight games he failed to score a touchdown. The Bears are back in action Week 14 vs. Dallas.
