Mitch at night: Trubisky must show Bears he can thrive in prime time

The Bears embrace playing in prime time. Just being scheduled at night, they say, means they’re doing something right.

Now they just need their quarterback to play well in a prime-time game. That hasn’t happened yet, even as Mitch Trubisky is preparing for his seventh career night game Monday at the Redskins.

Judging by passer rating, Trubisky is an above-average quarterback at noon, a below-average one in midafternoon and, well, a hot mess at night.

In six career night games — two Monday, one Thursday and three Sunday — Trubisky has completed 122 of 200 passes for 1,002 yards, with five touchdowns, nine interceptions and a 63.
