Hey! Look! It’s Mitch Trubisky running with the football! Where has that been?

I have felt sorry for tourists walking our streets the past three-plus months. There they’ve been, minding their own business, enjoying the sights, when complete strangers from Chicago have stopped them and asked them why Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky wasn’t running the ball more.

Of course they didn’t know the answer because none of us knew the answer, but those visitors to our city were serving a very important purpose. They were acting as emotional-support friends. Pack mules for our frustrations. We thank them.

On Thursday night, without warning, Trubisky started running with the football. It was as if a switch had been flipped.
