Entering his third year in the league, and his second year in Nagy’s offense, expectations are high for quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. With a bigger grasp of the playbook, we will finally get to see how big of a stride the Pro Bowl quarterback will make from last season to this season.

In three career games against the Packers, Trubisky has combined for 703 passing yards and three touchdowns. Given the success he’s had against the hated rival thus far, and the weapons that he has in the offense, Trubisky could be taking the first step in what could be another career year for him.

One thing that could give him a little trouble is the fact that a familiar face will be on the opposite side of the ball. Packers safety Adrian Amos was with the Bears last season, and could possibly have a jump on a play or two. We’ll see if that will affect Trubisky in any way, shape, or form.
