The Mitchell Trubisky era is officially underway for the Chicago Bears.
While the Denver Broncos emerged from Thursday's preseason opener at Soldier Field with a 24-17 victory, Trubisky was the primary storyline. The rookie quarterback directed scoring drives on his first three possessions and overcame an early double-digit deficit before a 47-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Sloter and a 41-yard touchdown run from De'Angelo Henderson in the fourth quarter gave Denver the win.
While Henderson and Sloter would have been heroes in a regular-season contest, their late scores and the game result took a back seat to the respective quarterback battles in preseason action—and Trubisky stole the show.
