MINNEAPOLIS — On fourth-and-9 from midfield with two-and-a-half minutes to play Sunday, Mitch Trubisky felt pressure and rolled right. He kept his eyes downfield and found rookie receiver Riley Ridley, who’d shoved down third-string Vikings cornerback Kris Boyd on an inside release and ran a wide-open corner-stop route for 32 yards.
Seven plays later, the Bears chipped in a field goal to win 21-19.
On that completion, Trubisky looked like the quarterback the Bears claimed to have seen all season long — in practice.
“The guy makes plays in pressure moments, and I think people need to understand that,” left tackle Charles Leno said.
