The Latest Breaking News from Mitch Trubisky

Near as can be determined from the relevant schedules, calendars, and photographical evidence from deep space, this weekend finds us near enough to the midpoint of the NFL season to trigger the obligatory midway column of observations and/or projections, some highly dubious as if that would stop me.

PITTSBURGH — I get the anger about Mike Tomlin's refusal to fire Matt Canada during this open week. And I understand why Canada is the subject of so much criticism among fans and media.

Mitch Trubisky called out his teammates for being repeat offenders on penalties.

There’s uncertainty with Claypool, but he and Mooney give the Bears their most potent wide receiver duo since Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall nearly a decade ago.

When predecessor Ryan Pace traded up to draft Trubisky second overall in 2017, he knew that he forever would be linked to his decision. Poles will be, too.

Pittsburgh is 2–6 so far this season, putting them towards the bottom of NFL rankings.

Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada went deep into his trick bag for Pittsburgh's opening touchdown against the Eagles.

At no time under Matt Nagy did the Bears look as well-coached from top to bottom as they did against the Patriots on Monday night. But beating the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium six days later would say even more about Eberflus and his coaching staff.

One way to increase the odds is to keep drafting them, like the Patriots and Cowboys have. The Bears only seem to do it when they bottom out at the position.

So this is what it's like to live in Cleveland or Detroit or Houston or Jacksonville?

Maybe Mike Tomlin should have gone to his bullpen after all.
