Trubisky didn’t just keep his head above the water.
Joe Haeg – Don’t talk about offensive linemen too often but Haeg was solid running with the 2’s.I expected a longtime veteran like Haeg to play well and he met expectations.
Arthur Maulet – Maulet, like Haeg, is a pretty known and defined player at this point.Anthony McFarland – Good outing in a good summer for McFarland and oh boy did he need one.Tre Norwood – Norwood was strong in the red zone in this game with multiple end zone breakups.Steven Sims – Sims is a small/speed guy and someone who needs to make plays in open grass.Pressley Harvin III – Not often I put players in the winners column who didn’t play.It helped Cameron Nizialek didn’t do a particularly good job, either.
Kenny Pickett – Thought all the quarterbacks looked solid tonight to varying degrees but Pickett was good in his NFL debut.Mataeo Durant – The good news is Durant was healthy enough to play in this game.He was blown up and run over on a third down play that led to Kenny Pickett being tossed down hard.
Durant did throw a nice block on a Pickett scramble late in the game, I’ll give him that.
Khalil Davis – I’ll eat a plate of crow for tonight.
