Earlier this week, Matt Nagy avoided confirming who would be the starting quarterback when the Chicago Bears host the Detroit Lions on Sunday at Soldier Field.
When asked Monday if Trubisky would be starting, Nagy said, “I don’t see why not,” which didn’t exactly express confidence about his young quarterback.
But on Wednesday, Nagy made it official that it will in fact be Trubisky that gets the starting nod against the Lions.

It’s hard to argue with Trubisky’s track record against the Lions, especially dating back the last three seasons. Since 2018, Trubisky has posted a 4-0 record against Detroit, where he’s had a 69.3 completion percentage with 12 touchdowns and one interception for a 124.4 passer rating.
The last time Trubisky faced the Lions, he led the Bears to a miraculous fourth-quarter comeback where he threw for three touchdowns in the 27-23 win.
We’ll see if Trubisky can keep his streak going against the Lions when the Bears need a win the most.
