Bears QB Mitch Trubisky’s first playoff game should be remembered as a good one

Posted Jan 8, 2019
The moment belonged to quarterback Mitch Trubisky and coach Matt Nagy. Down one point to the reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles. Forty-eight seconds left. One timeout. And the ball on the Bears’ 42 after a great kickoff return by Tarik Cohen. “[Trubisky] looked at me, and he gave me a smile,” Nagy said. “I just told him, ‘This is where the story begins.’ And he did it.” (Chicago Sun-Times)
