Mitch Trubisky looked impressive on his first NFL drive. Sure, the end result wasn’t ideal, but the offense looked much more efficient than it ever was under Mike Glennon. Trubisky completed three of his four passes for 30 yards, and his only incompletion was a drop by Dion Sims. The Bears utilized his athleticism and ability to throw well on the run by running bootleg plays, which would be a precursor of things to come.
The Bears called a timeout on their gutsy fourth-down conversion attempt early in the fourth quarter.
