Mitch Trubisky had his chance. And missed it.
The Bears’ offense was in a little bit of a groove early in the second quarter against the Chiefs on Sunday night at Soldier Field, trailing 10-0. David Montgomery’s four-yard gain on second-and-1 earned one first down. And a tight end screen to J.P. Holtz gained 13 yards — a well-conceived play with running back Tarik Cohen’s motion drawing the Chiefs’ defense to the right while Trubisky threw a short pass the other way to Holtz for a first down at the Chiefs 46.
That’s when Trubisky went for the big play.
