There were clearly major figures in Sunday’s runaway matchup between the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mitch Trubisky tossed six touchdowns in what was the greatest outing of the young signal caller’s career.

Draft class teammate Tarik Cohen also burst onto the scene with his personal-best performance as he amassed 121 receiving yards off seven catches, as well as 53 yards on the ground. He led the game in total receiving yards and tied for the most rushing.

And let’s not forget, of course, what Khalil Mack continues to do on a weekly basis as he recorded his fourth straight game with a sack and forced fumble.

While these aforementioned players had the spotlight on them for most post-game analysis, it’s time to discuss those players that also had really productive games.
