We All Missed an Awesome Mitch Trubisky Leadership Moment vs. Bengals

People have remained so focused on the physical talent and the accuracy of late. Many Chicago Bears fans haven't stopped to ask a more searching question. Where does the Mitch Trubisky leadership situation stand? Everybody knows the responsibilities that come with playing quarterback in the NFL. It's not only about playing the toughest, most important position in the entire sport. These men are required by their elevated position to be the ones who set the example for others. Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers are all great individual talents. Yet what makes them special is their ability to elevate those around them through motivation and expectation. One of the biggest criticisms of previous Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was his inability to get his teammates to follow him. Or more precisely "all" of his teammates. This was a hurdle that would be presented to Trubisky upon arrival. Could get the entire locker room behind him? Based on recent comments by coaches and players, he is having tons of success at this. A major key is his tireless work ethic and unselfish attitude. He'll do whatever it takes for his boys. He proved that on Sunday against the Bengals, and almost everybody missed it.

Mitch Trubisky leadership shined after Danny Trevathan got hurt

Late in the fourth quarter it was apparent the Bears were wrapping up their biggest win in a long time. With a score of 33-7 it was the first true blowout this team has had since 2015 when they clobbered the Rams 37-13. However, fans were dealt a scare when star linebacker Danny Trevathan went down with what appeared to be a back injury.

The injury was not deemed significant later on, though he didn't finish the game. It's what happened after the play though that revealed the type of leader and teammate Trubisky is. Without any prompt the rookie went along the sideline to check on Trevathan.

It's little things like that. These may be grown men who are built to be alphas. At the same time they're still human beings. It's nice to know that others care when you get hurt or not. When the quarterback takes the time to come check on you? That has to be a good feeling. For fans the fate of Trubisky will be decided on the field. For the locker room though, random acts of kindness like that will pay off huge in the long run.
