Mitch Trubisky's performance has given hope to long-suffering Bears' fans as he completed 18-of-25 passes for 166 yards and led three scoring drives in Chicago's 24-17 loss to the Broncos. Mike Glennon was expected to be the starter this season, but he was only two-of-eight for 20 yards with an interception. Mark Sanchez completed one of four passes for four yards. Trubisky completed his first 10 passes after he entered the game late in the second quarter so now the Bears have some competition at the quarterback position. Chicago also rushed for 173 yards on 36 carries, including 38 yards by Trubisky on three carries. Bears coach John Fox is 32-29 straight-up in preseason and his teams have covered the number in Game 2 the last two years. Arizona has lost both straight-up and ATS in the second week of the last two preseasons, including 19-3 at San Diego in 2016. Bruce Arians is 8-9 straight-up in exhibition play since joining the Cardinals, who come off a 20-10 win over the Raiders. Carson Palmer was four-of-eight for 39 yards and Drew Stanton completed 11-of-15 for 112 yards and Blaine Gabbert went five-of-nine for 53 yards. Chicago needs to continue improving and now have a healthy battle for the starting quarterback spot. Take the Bears to win this one straight-up.
