Portrait » Mitchell Trubisky started fast

Cleveland Browns Hoodie , slowed down and picked it up down the stretch.Despite another inconsistent performance by their prized quarterback, the Bears pulled out their first win.Khalil Mack had one of six sacks against Russell Wilson, Prince Amukamara returned an interception 49 yards for a touchdown and Chicago beat the Seattle Seahawks 24-17 Monday night to give coach Matt Nagy his first career victory.The Bears (1-1) bounced back after blowing a 20-point lead in a loss to a gimpy Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers mainly because their defense dominated in a big way.Trubisky gave an uneven performance after a shaky opener. The No. 2 overall pick in last year's draft, he was 25 of 34 for 200 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions."I don't care at all what happened," Nagy said. "I don't care if he threw four picks in the first half. I'm going to have ultimate trust in him. If he starts going into a shell, then we all get into a shell."For all the optimism the Bears generated when they acquired Mack from Oakland just over two weeks ago, Trubisky's development will still go a long way toward determining how soon they climb after four straight last-place finishes in the NFC North.He looked good in the early going, finishing a 96-yard drive on Chicago's first possession by shoveling to Trey Burton for a 3-yard touchdown. He also threw a 10-yard scoring pass to rookie Anthony Miller early in the fourth quarter.The offense stagnated in between. But the Bears pulled this one out, while the Seahawks (0-2) lost again.Here are some things to know:FIRST LOOKMack got a loud ovation when he ran out of the tunnel. And he gave the fans more to cheer in his first game at Soldier Field since the big trade.He has strip-sacks in each of his two games. He also returned an interception for a touchdown last week and consistently had pressure against Seattle.It's even more impressive, considering he held out the entire offseason and preseason with Oakland while seeking a contract extension.SACK PACKSacked six times in each game this season, Wilson is having trouble staying upright.Facing Von Miller and Khalil Miller certainly has something to do with that. But the protection hasn't been good. Receivers have struggled to get open. And Wilson at times has held on too long.But Wilson focused more on the two TDs Seattle scored in the fourth quarter, though the last one came in the closing seconds."The fourth quarter showed us who we are and who we can be. ... I don't think we're far off by any means Customized Cleveland Browns Jerseys ," he said. "I think the margin of error is really small. I'm normally optimistic, you guys know, but I really mean that. I think that's the situation we're in."GAME BALLMaking more interceptions was a Bears goal from the outset this season and Prince Amukamara made his first interception since 2015, returning it for his first touchdown to all but ensure the win with just over six minutes left.Afterward, he presented a game ball to his coach for picking up his first win."I wanted to give it back to him," Nagy said.PICK 'EMSeattle rebuilt its secondary this offseason and came up with two interceptions, both by Shaquill Griffin in the first half."That's a huge confidence-booster for me and that's the main thing," Griffin said. "You want to have that sense of confidence. That's what I wanted to work on this year, I said, specifically, I want to get the ball into my hands and that's what I'll continue to do and continue to work on.KENDRICKS' DEBUTLinebacker Mychal Kendricks gave Seattle a lift with a sack after signing on Friday. But how long he'll be around remains to be seen.Kendricks pleaded guilty last week to insider trading charges in Philadelphia. His sentencing is expected in January.Kendricks signed a one-year contract with Cleveland in June after playing last year with Super Bowl champion Philadelphia. The Browns released him after the charges were filed.Browns’ offensive snap counts, stats www.authenticsclevelandbrowns.com , and PFF notes: Preseason Week 1 Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on offense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 1 preseason game against the New York Giants.QuarterbackPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsNotes:The quarterback play was very good, starting with Tyrod Taylor, who was a perfect 5-of-5 and showed precision on his first pass to Jarvis Landry and then his touchdown pass to TE David Njoku. I don’t know how often Buffalo ran the hurry-up offense with Taylor, but it certainly looked like an element he was comfortable in.Playing behind a pretty bad offensive line, Baker Mayfield had the type of performance that you love to see from a rookie quarterback. There were some throws that coaches might tell him to do something different with as he’s about to be hit (i.e. perhaps take the sack or throw it out of bounds), but he showed a combination of great zip on the ball while also having good mobility to pick up first downs with his fit or hit a receiver downfield.PFF says that Mayfield had a 142.3 passer rating on throws that he was kept clean, which ranked “second out of 22 quarterbacks with qualifying dropbacks.”Running BackPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsNotes:This was not a good showcasing for the Browns’ running game, at all. As a team, they combined to have 33 carries for 50 yards (1.5 YPC).Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson each only got a carry, and Nick Chubb was given the workload after that. In 15 carries, he had just 11 yards. I can’t be too critical of Chubb because of the lack of blocking Cleveland Browns T-Shirt , but in the one preseason practice I went to, he looked equally unimpressive unless the blocking was solid from the snap (allowing him to make some sick quick cuts).Wide ReceiverPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsNotes:Jarvis Landry was presented as the leader of the receiving room this week, and he showed it with two early targets, including a great first catch up the sideline. The taunting penalty was just some preseason garbage; granted, I don’t necessarily care when players spin the ball after a catch, but he didn’t do it in the direction of the defender. (shrugs)Rashard Higgins looks polished, and it was nice seeing him have success on some outside throws (he mostly worked the slot in 2017).The most featured player all game was Antonio Callaway, who played 78% of the snaps. It wasn’t the best start for him, as he had a couple of dropped passes. The fade that Baker Mayfield threw him up the sideline could have been hauled in too. He got better as the game went along, though, showing the wow-factor with his speed. If Callaway can keep his head on straight, then you see why the coaches want to give him as many reps as possible: they want him up to speed to be a Day 1 contributor on offense.The other receivers made the catches they were supposed to make; it was a good day for the receivers all around. Not receiving any receiver reps on offense were Jeff Janis Cleveland Browns Hats , Blake Jackson, and Evan Berry. Janis not receiving reps is a tad surprising, although he was slightly banged up this week in practice.Tight EndPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsNotes:Oh my god, what a game for David Njoku! In just 18 plays, he caught two touchdown passes. Todd Haley had him run straight up the seam against a linebacker who stood no chance, and then he went up to catch another touchdown amidst three defenders. This is the guy I was hoping to see even a glimpse of all of last season, and despite some early drops in camp, now I’m really excited for what he can do in 2018. Credit Njoku for also making an outstanding open field tackle on a punt.Offensive LinePosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsNotes:The Browns’ offensive line allowed 1 sack and 3 quarterback hits. The quarterbacks had a good internal clock and escapability to prevent hits, but it was the run blocking that really lacked.I have to go back and watch the film, but there appeared to be a lot of criticism for rookie LG Austin Corbett in his debut. Spencer Drango filled in for the injured Kevin Zeitler at right guard.Shon Coleman played right guard with the second unit and was flagged for a false start.PFF loved the Browns’ pass blocking:
