One Mitch Trubisky throw topped all NFL passes in week six
Every week the league releases what they feel were the five best throws of that slate of games. Suffice to say a Bears quarterback making the list is beyond rare. It’s struck-by-lightning levels of rare when he takes the #1 spot. Yet that’s exactly what the Chicago rookie did with one of his dimes on Sunday. Which was it though?
That throw to Dion Sims off his back foot and rolling to his right was absurd. Some criticize the fact he made it too hard on him. Sims was open almost right away on the route but Trubisky didn’t hit him until further downfield. Still it doesn’t take too much from how on the money the throw ended up being. Crazy as it sound though, that wasn’t his best throw of the day.
Most who watched the game carefully would agree his missile to Kendall Wright on 3rd and 11 in overtime was much better. On that throw he had a defender in his face and no room to step into it. In fact he had to jump a little to get it high enough over the outstretched arms of the defender. The ball was only where Wright could get it. He did. Chicago go the first down and kicked the winning field goal a minute later.
It was far from a clinic for the rookie, but the flashes are getting more frequent.
