Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky had a chance to check a few boxes off when he trotted out onto the field Monday night in a tie game with 2:32 left.
Simply securing a win was one bright red check mark, especially for a team that came into Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings with a 1-3 record.
Playing hero in his regular-season debut was another important check mark. That would have quieted concerns about what the Bears sacrificed in their trade to get Trubisky during the 2017 draft for at least a minute or two.
