Alex Brown and Jim Miller join Laurence Holmes to break down Mitchell Trubisky’s performance in the Bears 20-12 loss to the New Orleans Saints, why the Bears didn’t go to Jordan Howard in clutch late-game situations, and how the Bears still have lots of room for improvement on defense despite keeping Drew Brees out of the endzone. Plus, the guys weigh in on Zach Miller’s gruesome knee injury on a controversial touchdown catch that was overturned.
