Tar Heels in NFL: Late fumble overshadows solid game for Trubisky; Holcomb continues to play well

Posted Dec 9, 2020
There was a lot to like about quarterback Mitch Trubisky’s game in the Chicago Bears’ 34–30 loss to the Detroit Lions. But his fumble on a strip-sack will get a lot of attention. In Washington’s upset of Pittsburgh, Steelers tight end Eric Ebron had seven catches. For Washington, linebacker Cole Holcomb had four tackles, five assists, and a tackle for loss.
