Tar Heels in NFL: Trubisky throws 4 TD passes, Huzzie snags INT, Walker scores TD, Maye finishes big

Posted Jan 5, 2026
The final week of the NFL regular season meant MVP candidate Drake Maye didn’t play the entire game, and reserves got plenty of playing time. Taking advantage of the latter were Mitch Trubisky, British Brooks, and Alijah Huzzie. The biggest day of that group, though, was Trubisky, who took over for the Bills and passed for 259 yards and four touchdowns. (Tar Heel Tribune)
