‘I Have Enormous Respect For Him’: Merril Hoge Praises Mitch Trubisky For Character, Perseverance

On a short week and against a great defense in the New England Patriots, things were a bit stacked against Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Mitch Trubisky in Week 14 at Acrisure Stadium.

His performance in the 21-18 loss to the Patriots certainly didn’t help matters either. He completed just 22-of-37 passes for 190 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Trubisky did add 30 rushing yards and a touchdown on eight carries, but he had two other turnover-worthy plays and largely struggled.

While it wasn’t all Trubisky’s fault, as Pro Football Focus’ Brad Spielberger pointed out Tuesday regarding the Steelers’ scheme, he certainly didn’t help.
