1. Mitch Trubisky made throws against DET that pros do. His big tosses to Horsted and Miller weren& #39;t just lobbing it to wide open guys.

They were well-executed passes from the pocket.

It was the first time he did that consistently throughout a game too. Encouraging. #Bears
2. David Montgomery showed what he could do when he actually gets blocking.

The guy is a nightmare to tackle. Give him lanes and he& #39;ll make life hell for linebackers and defensive backs.

I do think the #Bears should pair him with a home run hitter if possible though.
3. Anthony Miller proved beyond a doubt that he& #39;s the #2 wide receiver on this offense.

When he and Allen Robinson are clicking, the #Bears are hard to stop.

If they ever find a tight end, this passing attack could turn into something special.
4. In the two games Javon Wims has been targeted four times or more this season, he& #39;s made 9 catches for 112 yards. Both games were wins in which the #Bears QB had a passer rating over 100.

Translation? Good things happen when you get him involved.
5. Jesper Horsted reminds me of a former tight end named Todd Christensen.

Undersized and not overly fast but slippery and just a magician when the ball was thrown in his direction.

If this kid can bulk up a bit and learns to run routes?

Look out. #Bears
6. Roquan Smith must& #39;ve found his power coin somewhere because he morphed into an absolute stud after Trevathan went down.

Before the injury (8 games) - 67 tackles, 1 TFL

After the injury (3 games) - 30 tackles, 1 INT, 2 sacks, 4 TFL

Wow.

#Bears
7. I lost count of how many times Khalil Mack almost had a sack in Detroit. David Blough was constantly having to get away from him, especially as the game went along.

This is why leaning on stats is inadvisable. Blocking Mack was a nightmare.

#Bears
8. Nick Kwiatkoski has bee one of the best blitzing inside linebackers in the league over the past four weeks, constantly getting pressure on the quarterback.

What& #39;s even more impressive though? He has an INT and three passes defended too, showing improvement in coverage. #Bears
9. Kyle Fuller is still one of the best cornerbacks in football. He still leads the team with 3 interceptions but proved he& #39;s so much more with that incredible tackle on J.D. McKissic.

A complete football player and one of the best #Bears 1st round picks of the past decade.
10. Something that was nice to see? Matt Nagy managed to call 11 run plays even after the #Bears fell behind 17-7 late in the first half. He made sure to keep some balance throughout the comeback.

Maybe he& #39;s finally learning some things.
