Maybe the Chicago Bears should have quarterback Mitchell Trubisky mic’d up every game if he’s going to perform like he did in last Thursday’s 24-20 victory over the Detroit Lions.
There was something different about Trubisky on Thanksgiving, as he orchestrated a nine-play, 90-yard scoring drive that ultimately won them the game. He finally looked like the Mitchell Trubisky we were promised — especially on his two clutch third down conversions to Anthony Miller of 35 and 32 yards, respectively.
Trubisky completed 29-of-38 passes for 338 yards with three touchdowns and an interception for a 118.1 passer rating. But it was more than the stats. It was the eye test that Trubisky passed with flying colors.
That was on display in Trubisky’s mic-up segment, which featured his leadership on that final game-winning drive that kept the Bears’ playoff hopes alive at 6-6 heading into Week 14.
Bears fans got an up-close look at how that final drive went down, with Trubisky leading the charge.
Trubisky has strung together four consecutive solid performances, and the Bears will be looking for him to do the same in Chicago’s final four regular-season games as they try to make a push for a Wild Card berth.
