CHICAGO – Mitchell Trubisky and the Chicago Bears appear to be hitting their stride even if it might be too late to salvage their season.
Trubisky threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score in Chicago’s 31-24 victory over Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott and the slumping Cowboys on Thursday night.
In a matchup between disappointing teams that made the playoffs last season, the Bears (7-6) came away with their fourth win in five games after dropping four in a row. The Cowboys (6-7) have lost seven of 10 since a 3-0 start.
“I think it says we’re resilient,” Trubisky said. “We stick together. We believe in each other even when nobody else believes in us. It’s a special group in that locker room. We just want to keep this feeling going.”
Trubisky shook off an early interception near the goal line to complete 23 of 31 passes for 244 yards. He matched a season high for touchdown throws and set a high with 63 yards rushing. That included a 23-yard scoring dash early in the fourth quarter that made it 31-14.
