Trubisky aims to build on positives, limit miscues

[Staley Da Bear]

As he prepares to make his second straight start Sunday against the Lions, Trubisky is focused on building on the positives and improving his ball security after throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble in Green Bay.


"After watching the mistakes, the main thing is taking care of the football," Trubisky said Wednesday. "It's easy to say, a little bit harder to do. Especially going into it, you just have the mindset, 'I'm going to take care of the football, I'm not going to force things.'


"But you get into a game, and especially early on when we have a play called that we wanted to take a shot on all week, I take the shot and the defense made a better play than we did. They intercepted the ball. Later on in the game, we're down by a couple scores, I tried taking another shot, the ball doesn't come out right, the ball doesn't go where I want it to go and the defense makes another good play and then we have the fumble, which is just harping on two hands on the ball in the pocket and protecting that football.


"So it's definitely frustrating, but some plays, it just happens in football. You've got to let it go. You're going to have that throughout the flow of a season and the games, and it's a common theme with quarterbacks—you have a better chance of winning when you take care of the football. So, it's very obvious to say; you've just got to go out there and do it."
