On the move or barely moving? Mitch Trubisky openly laments Bears lack of pocket movement Sunday

Mitch Trubisky’s second-longest — and quite possibly best — throw during Sunday’s playoff-eliminating loss at Lambeau was a 33-yard play-action bootleg to Anthony Miller.

In a rare under-center alignment, Trubisky took the snap and faked to David Montgomery before rolling to his right and climbing the pocket. He uncorked a ball with perfect touch and trajectory to Miller back over to the left sideline, with Miller displaying his toughness by taking a big shot and appearing to injure his shoulder but securing the ball. On the very next play, Trubisky kept it on an RPO for his longest run Sunday, a nine-yard scamper into the red zone, punctuated emphatically by lowering his shoulder into Packers rookie S Darnell Savage.
