The Bears embrace playing in prime time. Just being scheduled at night, they say, means they’re doing something right.
Now they just need their quarterback to play well in a prime-time game. That hasn’t happened yet, even as Mitch Trubisky is preparing for his seventh career night game Monday at the Redskins.
Judging by passer rating, Trubisky is an above-average quarterback at noon, a below-average one in midafternoon and, well, a hot mess at night.
In six career night games — two Monday, one Thursday and three Sunday — Trubisky has completed 122 of 200 passes for 1,002 yards, with five touchdowns, nine interceptions and a 63.
