Offense: Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky
Trubisky will look to rebound after posting a career-low 33.3 passer rating in last Sunday night’s win over the Rams. In his return to action after missing two games with a right shoulder injury, the second-year pro completed 16 of 30 passes for 110 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.
“I didn’t make the throws that I needed to make,” Trubisky said. “I didn’t do my job when my team needed me to do my job, and I know that I can play better. For me this week, it’s just getting back to basics, having a great week of practice, putting that game behind us. The most important thing is we came out with a win.”
Trubisky blamed his accuracy issues against the Rams on rushing his footwork, which led to him throwing off balance and off rhythm. He’s spending the week in practice working on his fundamentals and hopes to bounce back against a Packers pass defense that ranks eighth in the NFL, allowing an average of 225.0 yards per game.
Trubisky enters Week 15 with a 92.1 passer rating this season, having completed 64.4 percent of his throws for 2,579 yards with 21 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
