Sundays continue to be much better for Tar Heel football than Saturdays (and Thursdays) this season. This week, the comparison was particularly poignant, because while UNC was reeling from two quarterbacks absolutely floundering against Miami, Mitchell Trubisky was busy putting on one of the best statistical performances by a quarterback of all time. Trubisky wasn’t the only Tar Heel to shine in the pro football’s fourth week, though, so let’s take a look at what happened with Tar Heels in the NFL:
- While I’m sure you’re well aware of this one, it’s my duty to recap it: Against an admittedly awful Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense, Mitchell Trubisky threw an astonishing 6 touchdown passes (5 in the first half) and would have had a very good chance at tying or breaking the NFL record of 7 had the Bucs’ hitherto offensive prowess not suddenly dried up against Khalil Mack and the Bears’ formidable defense en route to a 48-10 Bears win.
