Mitch Trubisky knows he must be better than so-called ‘best game’

Posted Dec 8, 2017
The clock kept ticking, but Mitch Trubisky was unfazed. His offense hurried to the 2-yard line; the ball was snapped with six seconds left. Trubisky then threw a perfect fade for a touchdown. That’s how the Bears’ rookie quarterback wrapped up one of his best games at UNC. His touchdown pass to Bug Howard resulted in a 37-36 win against Pittsburgh in 2016. (Chicago Sun-Times)
