The last time the Bears played the Buccaneers, Mitch Trubisky threw six touchdown passes in a 48-10 rout on Sept. 30, 2018 at Soldier Field — a performance coach Matt Nagy knew could be a watershed moment for Trubisky.
“Hopefully this is a day we look back and say, ‘You remember that day he had that great game and it helped catapult him,’’’ Nagy said after that game.
As it turns out, that glorious moment will go down as one of the great false-positives in Bears history — taking advantage of a Buccaneers defense that finished 27th in the NFL in yards and 31st in points.
