You couldn’t script a better start for the Chicago Bears in Week 4.
Through the first six drives, Mitch Trubisky completed 12 of 15 passes for 254 yards, five touchdowns, and 158.3 passer rating. Here’s a look at the fifth score:

That’s five touchdowns to five different receivers. And a different look for the Bears on that score, as they had Chase Daniel in the backfield with Trubisky. Heck of a sell on the fake hand-off from Daniel. Makes me think he’s in line to get some love from the running backs room. Don’t be surprised if Daniel pops his head into that position group’s meeting room to see what else he can do.
Trubisky isn’t just making hits, he’s making history:
A Bears QB hasn't had 5 TDs in a game since 1949.

With one half in the books, you can say Trubisky has played his best game as a member of the Bears. He has completed 14 of 18 passes for 289 yards, five touchdowns, a 158.3 passer rating, and has added three carries for 53 – highlighted by runs of 23 and 26 yards.
Not bad, No. 10. Keep it up!
