CHICAGO -- Since taking over as the Chicago Bears starting quarterback early last season, Mitch Trubisky has been a bit pedestrian. The 24-year-old heated up in a hurry on Sunday.
Trubisky posted his best game as a pro, throwing for career-highs of 354 yards and six touchdown passes (to five different receivers) as the Bears torched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 48-10 to improve to 3-1. Trubisky was 19-for-26 in pass attempts.
Before Sunday, Trubisky had only thrown nine touchdown passes in 15 career games. His only multiple touchdown outing came in Week 2 of this season against the Seahawks, when he threw two.
