NEWSLETTER
Sometimes you get Patrick Mahomes vs. Justin Herbert, and sometimes you get Mitch Trubisky vs. Jacoby Brissett. In fairness, this might turn out to be an entertaining matchup between division rivals in the AFC North, but it’s certainly a step down from last week’s TNF matchup between the Chiefs and Chargers.
On the bright side, Bears fans get an up close and personal look at their old pal, Trubisky. They also get a look at George Pickens (PIT) and David Bell (CLE), a pair of wide receivers that fans were enamored with leading up to the NFL Draft last spring.
