For Mitch Trubisky, there’s one way he knows how to play the game. He’s not going to shrink and throw 3-yard completions all day. When the defense has an opening, he’s going to take his shot.
That’s what he told reporters during his Wednesday media session, filling in for the injured Kenny Pickett, out this week and likely beyond with an ankle injury. In his first start since last season, Trubisky will look to get Pittsburgh back on track after being upset by the Arizona Cardinals. And he’s not going to do so quietly.
“I’m trying to be aggressive, push the ball down the field, help this offense be explosive,” he said via a team-provided transcript.
