At this time last week, Mitch Trubisky watched 2018 game film and found reasons to be confident. His home performance against the Lions last year was probably the best of his career – he went 23-for-30 for 355 yards, three touchdowns and a 148.6 passer rating.
This week’s opponent, too, gave him 2018 film to research. The Bears-Rams contest took place five weeks after that first Lions game — in Week 14, 2018 — but the result was different. The Rams forced Trubisky into, simply, the worst game of his career.
Returning from a shoulder injury, the Bears quarterback went 16-for-30 for 110 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in, amazingly, a 15-6 win against the Rams.
