Danny Trevathan, Eddie Goldman among Bears’ surprise starters

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Danny Trevathan, the most overqualified person to participate in Saturday’s exhibition finale, finished his brief stint on the field by hitting the bench. The Bears inside linebacker intercepted Titans quarterback Matt Barkley halfway through the first quarter. After undercutting Barkley’s throw at the Bears’ 7, he ran up the right sideline for 24 yards. As he ran out of bounds along the Titans’ sideline, he was shoved, ice-skated across the baby blue tarp and sat down on the Titans bench.

Trevathan, a 10-year veteran, was one of four projected first-team defensive players who started the game.
