I came away from re-watching the game feeling like neither of Mitch Trubisky’s two interceptions were primarily his fault. On the first one, Anthony Miller – his first read – was jammed by a defensive back and fell to the turf. Allen Robinson was second in the progression and the timing of the throw, yes, was a little off, allowing the ball to be tipped and picked off by cornerback Julian Love. That could’ve been better, but credit also should go to the Giants’ defense on it.
The second interception was both a catch Robinson should’ve had and a tremendous play by cornerback James Bradberry. Maybe Trubisky could’ve placed the ball a little better but his decision to give Robinson a playmaking opportunity was good. Bradberry is a tough corner but it’s a play Robinson, in all certainty, would like to have back.
Otherwise, Trubisky played an excellent first half, and should’ve had three touchdowns had Miller come down with the “dime,” as Matt Nagy put it, he threw in the end zone.
