Rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky got his first win of his pro career, as the Chicago Bears knocked off the Baltimore Ravens on the road 27-24.

Not sure we’d bet on that result 10 out of 10 times, but it was an impressive performance for Trubisky and Co., nonetheless.

Trubisky was cautious but effective against a still-good Ravens defense, throwing for only 113 yards and a touchdown. His two fumbles, though, reveal why he and the Bears can’t be ranked any higher in our NFL power rankings despite beating a superior opponent.

Nice for running back Jordan Howard to carry the offensive load instead.
