All eyes will be on Mitch Trubisky in this one, after coming off arguably one of his worst performances since entering the NFL. Completing 26 of 45 pass attempts, he threw for 228 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. If it wasn’t for Allen Robinson (7/102/0), the night for Trubisky could have been much, much worse.
The other surprise in this game was Mike Davis playing on 56% of the snaps over David Montgomery, who saw just 36%. The carries were almost split evenly with Davis at five and Montgomery at six but it was a concern in the early going. Tarik Cohen was used primarily as a receiver, playing 72% of their snaps and mostly lining up in the slot.
As for the Broncos, Joe Flacco looked lost and didn’t seem to have any type of rapport with any of his receivers. With a tough matchup against this Chicago defense, he could once again struggle to move the ball. The Bears also feature one of the best run defenses in the league, allowing an average of just 68.5 rushing yards and the lowest rushing touchdowns with just four allowed.
