NFL Power Rankings, Week 3: Rams earn statement win in rematch with Saints
By Dan Parzych
16. Chicago Bears
One can only imagine how Chicago Bears fans were feeling when it looked like their beloved team was about to drop to 0-2 on the season, but at least the team managed to rally for the thrilling 16-14 win over the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 2.
However, just because the Bears watched Eddy Pineiro convert a 53-yard field goal as time expired to seal the win doesn’t necessarily mean certain players are off the hook, with Mitch Trubisky sitting on the top of that list.
After taking a major leap forward during his sophomore campaign in 2018, Chicago fans expected to see Trubisky elevate his game to a new level this season in which he could even play at a MVP level.
Through two games, this has been far from the case for Trubisky since the Bears quarterback has yet to toss his first touchdown pass, and only completed 16 of 27 passes for 120 yards in win over the Broncos.
Luckily for Chicago, Trubisky still has plenty of time to get out of this funk, and put the offense in a similar position to last year where the Bears arguably had one of the top overall teams in the league.
Until then, Trubisky just needs to hope his numbers look better in Week 3 when taking on the Washington Redskins, because this is going to be another difficult defense for the quarterback to face.
