GREEN BAY, Wis. — Mitch Trubisky came into Sunday’s game against the Packers on the most promising roll of his career. But he left Lambeau Field still searching for the watershed moment when he can rise above the muck of a developing offense and turn a subpar performance into a winner.
The Packers’ defense won the day on several fronts and there was nothing Trubisky could do about it in a 21-13 loss. The Bears tried to set an early tone by going no-huddle after Trubisky’s seven-yard pass to Tarik Cohen on their first offensive play. They got set, then re-set, Trubisky made a vocal adjustment — and Packers defensive tackle Kenny Clark single-handedly set a tone of his own, beating guard James Daniels to tackle Cohen for a three-yard loss.
