Maybe it was rivalry bluster, or the afterglow of a victory.
But Packers cornerback Tramon Williams referred to as out Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky after Thursday night time’s 10-Three win at Soldier Field.
”We needed to make [Trubisky] play quarterback,” he stated. “We knew they had a lot of weapons. We knew they were dangerous. We knew all of those things. We knew if we could make [Trubisky] play quarterback, we would have a chance.”
They had been proper. Trubisky went 26-for-45 for 228 yards. He was sacked twice, picked off as soon as — by former Bears security Adrian Amos — and completed with a 62.1 passer score.
“Way to start the season off,” he stated. “Green Bay and Chicago. Hundredth year. Who would’ve knew, 10-3? We played well as a defense. We knew we had to outplay their defense.”
Trubisky credited the Packers’ defensive method.
“They do a great job of mixing it up, and I think they did really well on first and second down to keep us in third-down situations,” he stated. “And obviously [defensive coordinator Mike] Pettine, he’s really good on 3rd down. He ‘gurus it up’ and has a bunch of different coverages, overload pressures and stuff that gave us trouble up front and in the back end tonight.”
