Mark Schofield: How Mitch Trubisky handles pressure, and 2 throws that should give Bears fans hope

“I’d rather win ugly than lose pretty.”

-Bobby Bowden

It is a rather common refrain, not limited to the former Florida State football coach, but if they’re keeping score, winning is much more important than looking good while you’re on the field or the court. Which is good for Chicago Bears’ quarterback Mitch Trubisky, in the wake of Chicago’s 16-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, in a game that Pro Football Weekly’s own Hub Arkush stated “redefined winning ugly.”

In Sunday’s outing, Trubisky completed 24 of 35 passes for 220 yards, with one interception and three sacks.
