Chicago Bears fans don’t need to be reminded just how ugly their franchise’s quarterback history is. But it’s hard to avoid some pretty brutal stats involving Bears quarterbacks on a regular basis.
The latest sad Bears quarterback stat of the day comes courtesy of the Bears’ improbable fourth-quarter comeback against the Detroit Lions in Week 1, where Chicago overcame a 17-point deficit to defeat the Lions 27-23.
Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky was integral in the comeback — even if he played a part in the initial deficit. Trubisky completed 80% of his passes for 89 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions for a 143.3 passer rating in the fourth quarter.
According to ChicagoBears.com’s Larry Mayer, Trubisky became the first Bears quarterback to pass for at least three touchdowns with no interceptions in a season opener in the franchise’s history.
Which is pretty sad considering the Bears have 100 years of history prior to Trubisky’s impressive fourth-quarter performance last Sunday.
FUN FACT: On Sunday, Mitchell Trubisky became the first #Bears QB to pass for at least three TDs with no interceptions in a season opener in franchise history.

When all was said and done, Trubisky completed 20-of-36 passes for 242 yards and three touchdowns with a passer rating of 104.2. He added 26 rushing yards on three carries.
