Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky reached the 3,000-yard passing plateau during Sunday's contest versus the Minnesota Vikings, making him just the second quarterback in franchise history to hit that mark in back-to-back seasons. Trubisky joins Bears signal-caller Jay Cutler on the list, who did so in both 2009-10 and '14-15.

After having been named to the Pro Bowl last season, Trubisky has had a rollercoaster 2019 campaign. Whereas he led the Bears to 11 victories in '18, he reached the 3,000-yard mark Sunday during a game that won't have any effect on his playoff status this season.

Entering Sunday, Trubisky had thrown for over 300 yards in a contest just twice all season. In addition to a nine-yard clunker back in Week 4 versus the Vikings, Trubisky was held to under 200 passing yards in five separate games.

How the team handles its quarterback situation moving forward remains to be seen, but Trubisky will be entering the final season of his rookie contract. During Sunday's contest versus Minnesota, he exceeded 500 pass attempts, becoming the 12th quarterback in the league to hit that mark. After not being sacked in two of his first four games, Trubisky has been sacked at least once in every contest since.

Since Cutler's departure following the 2016 season, Chicago has been Trubisky's franchise to lead. The landscape of offenses around the league has undoubtedly adapted since the early stages of Cutler's tenure, but whether Trubisky's 3,000-yard campaign will be enough to seal long-term confidence in his right shoulder and decision making remains to be seen.
