Last week Brian Urlacher professed that he believed the Chicago Bears finally have themselves a quarterback. He was impressed with the rookie after the narrow loss to Minnesota and continued to show his love on Twitter after the Bears knocked off the Ravens in Baltimore. A game in which Trubisky threw the critical pass that set up the winning field goal.
