Stopping Mitch Trubisky on Monday will be key for Washington in Week 3. Luckily for them, they've got one defender who knows the Bears quarterback quite well. Rookie linebacker Cole Holcomb, who seized a starting job in the season opener and who's been a major contributor so far, was college roommates with Trubisky at North Carolina for two years.
