The first two starts of the Mitchell Trubisky era have featured typical rookie quarterback results. The Bears have simplified things and have taken the ball out of their quarterback’s hands more often than not. However, if the Panther game plan goes the way they intend, they will be forcing Trubisky to throw in this game much more than pass.
The Panthers are loaded in the front. Kawann Short is as good of interior penetrator as there is in the league and Star Lotulelei is a strong nose tackle as well. These two hoist the sixth best rushing defense on a play-by-play basis.
