"It's not going to be an overnight thing he had a good game and we want to continue to have those good games. "He's slowly improving, which I love," Nagy said after last week's win over the Lions. But first-year coach Matt Nagy, who spent 10 years on Andy Reid's staff, never wavered he knew this would be a process, and it appears we're starting to see the glimpses of what Trubisky can become. Trubisky too often looked to pull the ball down and run, too impatient to stay in the pocket to let the routes unfold in front of him. That's is a huge development because other than his six-touchdown performance against the Buccaneers in Week 4, there were plenty of reasons to wonder if he'd ever grow into the role. On Sunday night, Trubisky didn't put up the numbers we saw against the Lions, but this was his second-best effort of the year. He was smart, efficient, and looked every bit the franchise quarterback the Bears envisioned when they selected him second overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. The Bears cruised to a 34-22 victory to stay atop the division and the second-year quarterback was 23 of 30 for 355 yards and three touchdowns. Mitchell Trubisky had his best game of season last week against the Lions. The Bears can win with Trubisky with patience They lost again in Week 17, finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs for third straight year (going back to 2010) - and haven't been back since. If nothing else, this is a much happier ending than the last time the Bears had a meaningful game after Week 8 in Week 16 of the 2013 season, they were 8-6 and eyeing the postseason only to have their doors blown off by the Eagles, 54-11. Partly because of the continued growth of their young quarterback - thanks to their young coach - but mostly because of this world-beating defense (and Cody Parkey. And we have to think of them as something other than a novelty. On Sunday night, they took it to the Vikings, 25-20. Yes, they came into this game atop the NFC North with a 6-3 record, but here's who they had beaten: The Seahawks, Cardinals, Buccaneers, Jets, Bills and Lions.
