Since the bye week, Trubisky has started four games and has thrown eight touchdowns to only three interceptions. Certainly, there\u2019s been plenty of nice matchups along the way but that will continue this week when the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/bears\/\" target=\"_self\">Chicago Bears<\/a> take on the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/jaguars\/\" target=\"_self\">Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> and their bottom-of-the-barrel pass defense. The Jaguars are bad all around but are dead last in passing EPA defense. They are also allowing the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks on the season. It may sound crazy, especially since he was benched earlier this season, but playing Trubisky this week may actually work out.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Notable NFL Passer Rating Career Leaders:<\/p>\n<p>\u25aa\ufe0f Mitch Trubisky:   87.0<br \/>\u25aa\ufe0f Dan Marino:        86.4<br \/>\u25aa\ufe0f Brett Favre:         86.0<br \/>\u25aa\ufe0f John Elway:        79.9 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ztvE5aqBY6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/ztvE5aqBY6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NFL on CBS \ud83c\udfc8 (@NFLonCBS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFLonCBS\/status\/1338269456552824836?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 13, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Honorable Mentions \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/D\/DaltAn00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andy Dalton<\/a><\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0(DAL\u00a0\u2013 13%) v PHI,<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/T\/TagoTu00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tua Tagovailoa<\/a> <\/strong>(MIA\u00a0\u2013 21%) @ LV<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Running Back \u2013\u00a0Lynn Bowden Jr.\u00a0(MIA \u2013 24%) @ LV<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/dolphins\/\" target=\"_self\">Miami Dolphins<\/a> are really hurting for playmakers right now.
