Chicago Bears - PlayerWatch

[December 26, 2017]    QB MitchellTrubisky, from Mentor, Ohio, connected on 14 of 23 passing attempts for 193 yards and rushed for 44 yards as he met his hometown team for the first time. Cleveland passed on drafting him with the No. 1 overall pick earlier this year. "To play in the snow on Christmas Eve against your hometown team, it's kind of a dream come true," Trubisky said. "It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed every moment. I soaked it in with all my teammates."

RB Jordan Howard's touchdowns were his eighth and ninth this season, and gave the second-year running back four in his last three games.

TE Zach Miller returned to Soldier Field on Sunday as he continues to recover from an injury that nearly cost him his left leg. Miller walked to the sidelines and addressed the crowd in an interview shown on the video board. He has undergone eight surgeries since suffering a torn artery while dislocating his knee trying to make a touchdown catch in New Orleans in late October.
