Atl is the 10th best team D in 1st half allowing 11 PPG. Tru had 10 bc of a 40 yd missed FG. He was benched 1 drive into 3Q. Atl is the 31st best defense in 2nd H points allowed & 4th Q points allowed at 17 & 12 despite panthers game where teddy was hurt w lead & on 3 2H pts
On Trubisky’s first drive the bears are moving down the field, in Atlanta 35, they run a no gain play to Patterson and on 2nd down Ryan Nall goes out wide on the right, Montgomery on the left, with Kmet and Harris running curls and Robinson doing a 4 yard out...serious stuff...
2nd possession another good drive despite a holding penalty, inside 20 Monty runs for loss of 5. Then runs AGAIN on 2nd and 15 for 3, then incompletion on a route combo where 3 of 4 options were before the sticks...FG made this time by santos...
3rd drive Bears have controlled whole clock (11 minutes) and losing, ginn is still getting ton of burn; Trubisky hits him w a pretty perfect deep ball but he lets himself get run OB so no catch. SECOND AND LONG RUN for nothing. Tru can’t connect w Cohen deep pretty covered
4th possession Monty loses SEVEN YARDS on first down run. Then Mitch and mooney connect on beautiful timing deep out. 3-5 Mitch gets killed on a blitz waiting for Cohen to come open which wasn’t gonna happen...
5th drive despite a sack and false start Trubisky and arob connect twice on deep intermediate plays and then Trubisky takes off for 45 yards on an epic run. Connects w graham and bears now have 10 points on 5 drives despite a missed FG
The ball that gets Trubisky essentially benched after a half with 168 all purpose yards. Gotta connect, inches from a 215 yard half, instead opens door to benching after a poor third Q start
What’s wild is Mitch did set himself up for this deep ball. Just before the snap he motioned to Jimmy to not run his route, brought him in for more protection as Atlanta did send extra guys off the edge and Jimmy picked it up. He extra hitched on throw bc of roving DB but had him
