With Thursday’s game in Detroit looming, the Bears don’t have time to watch much film of Sunday’s win against the Lions. We did, though, and found three takeaways:
First, tight end Ben Braunecker dropped what should have been a 29-yard touchdown pass from Mitch Trubisky in the first quarter. Then Trubisky threw a brutal interception in the end zone.
It was a product of a miscommunication between the quarterback and receiver Allen Robinson.
Trubisky took the shotgun snap on third-and-9 from the Giants 14 with 1:49 left in the first quarter. He had Braunecker split left, three receivers right —Robinson in the slot, then Anthony Miller, then Javon Wims on the outside — and David Montgomery in the backfield.
