‘They’ve Tried To Make Trubisky Into Something That He’s Not’: Michael Lombardi Questions If Pittsburgh Sticks With ‘MVP Mitch’

QB Mitch Trubisky didn’t have that great of a debut as a starting quarterback last Thursday against the New England Patriots, seeing his team lose 21-18 at home to the 2-10 squad. Trubisky took a while to get settled down in the game. He threw an interception early on that led to another Patriots touchdown, making the score 21-3 halfway through the second quarter. Trubisky would finish the game 22-of-35 for 190 yards, throwing one touchdown while running for another, along with one interception. But his shaky play in the pocket, coupled with his bad misses to open receivers, made for a bad performance in the veteran signal caller’s first start in 2023.
