Mitchell Trubisky
The quarterback position has a major impact on the ability of a team to be able to get wins in the NFL. For the Bears, they have yet to receive a sufficient level of impact since drafting Mitchell Trubisky with the No. 2 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Against a Lions defense that is still in the rebuilding process, the Bears must receive a strong impact from Trubisky. If not, the questions about whether Chicago should insert Nick Foles into the lineup will begin early and often.
The output Trubisky provided the Bears was effective against the Lions in 2019 with both wins coming within a single-possession. In Week 10, Trubisky recorded 173 passing yards and 3 touchdowns despite being sacked a season-high 5 times.
Where Trubisky truly impressed against the Lions came in the Bears’ Week 13 matchup. He ended with 338 yards and 3 touchdowns in what was his best individual performance of the 2019 season. Will he manage to build on that display in Week 1 of the 2020 season?
