A day of regression for Bears starts with John Fox decision to punt on fourth
Mitch Trubisky
If Bears quarterback  Mitch Trubisky  took one step forward against the Bengals  the Lions harassed  him  into taking two steps back. Such is the uneven rhythm of a rookie  the context that frames  Trubisky âs bad starts as much as the good ones. Gaudy numbers â 31 of 46 for 314 yards and one touchdown â were offset by three interceptions that resulted in a paltry passer rating of 66.8.
No  but  Trubisky  displayed  his  worst judgment of the season â or at least since  his  first start Oct. 9 â when  he  forced the ball into double coverage trying to hit Dontrelle Inman that resulted in a Cutleresque interception in the end zone.  He  never saw safety Quandre Diggs step in front of Inman for a gift. âTis the season  apparently.
âI just lost  him  in my vision ââ  Trubisky  said. âIâve got to throw the ball away so we can get a field goal.ââ
 Trubisky âs first pick came when  he  sailed a pass over Kendall Wrightâs head that cornerback Darius Slay caught before going out of bounds  one of two interceptions by âBig Playâ Slay. Interestingly  the errant throw occurred on a slow-developing play-action pass out of the shotgun with  Trubisky  rolling left  when  his  accuracy tends to become more iffy. Slay also identified  Trubisky  as a young quarterback who locked in on his receivers  which  Trubisky  disputed.
