Bears finally unlock Mitchell Trubisky's rushing prowess

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The most confusing offensive development in Year 2 under Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy has been the reluctance to use quarterback Mitchell Trubisky's skills as a runner.

Trubisky entered Week 14 with 80 total rushing yards on 26 attempts (3.1 yards per carry).

That’s a steep decline from the 2018 season, when Trubisky ran 68 times for 421 yards (6.2 yards per carry) and three touchdowns. Even his rookie year in 2017, Trubisky showed greater willingness to run, with 248 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 41 carries.
