Tar Heels in NFL: Trubisky benched in Bears win; big plays for Ebron, Boston

Posted Sep 28, 2020
The good news for Mitch Trubisky is that the Bears moved to 3–0. The bad news is he was benched in the third quarter for backup Nick Foles who rallied Chicago from a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit to a 30–26 victory. It was a better day for tight end Eric Ebron, who helped Pittsburgh move to 3-0. He caught passes for 52 yards and a touchdown. (Tar Heel Tribune)
