Mitch Trubisky and the Chicago Bears lost their Wild Card playoff game to the New Orleans Saints 21-9 on Sunday. Trubisky wasn t great during the game, but he did with the NVP (Nickelodeon Valuable Player) after being voted as such by the online masses.
As the game went along and it became apparent the Bears were going to lose (they were down 21-3 late), masses on Twitter advocated for people to vote for Trubisky as a joke. Well, it wound up working. He ended up winning with a ridiculous 49 percent of the vote:

UPDATE: Mitch Trubisky did not play well against the Saints, completing 19-of-29 passes for 199 yards with one touchdown pass in garbage time. The Bears lost to the Saints, 21-9.

Or maybe they will based on the report from Week 16. It s all insane. Full details below.

The best thing that ever happened to Mitch Trubisky was getting benched for Nick Foles. It not only gave Trubisky a chance to mentally reset, which has led to a renaissance performance by him, it also was a clear reminder of what the Bears have thought about him for the last year.
That alone should be enough ammunition to keep Trubisky from re-signing with Chicago, but there are other reasons that make the decision more obvious.
Since returning to the Bears starting lineup in Week 12, Trubisky has thrown for over 970 yards with 8 touchdowns and only 3 interceptions, leading the Bears back into the playoff hunt with a 2-2 record. That performance, according to Adam Schefter, has led to a situation where the Bears would now like to re-sign Trubisky. The feeling should not be mutual.
