Bears fall short in preseason opener
Mitch Trubiskywas nothing short of spectacular in his NFL debut Thursday night, electrifying the Soldier Field crowd with a stellar performance that exceeded all realistic expectations.
The first-round draft pick from North Carolina led the Bears to touchdowns on each of his first two possessions after following Mike Glennon and Mark Sanchez into the game, turning a 10-0 deficit into a 14-10 lead in an eventual 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos.
Trubisky completed his first 10 passes and finished his first pro game connecting on 18 of 25 passes for 166 yards with one touchdown and an impressive 103.1 passer rating.
