    Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky will wear a protective sleeve on his throwing arm again Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.Why change up anything when you're hot?Coming off his biggest game in the NFL with six touchdown passes http://www.authenticsatlantafalcons.com/cheap-mohamed-sanu-jersey ;, Trubisky wants to begin achieving the consistency needed to keep the Bears (3-1) atop the NFC North."It definitely gave me confidence, but I think just looking back on it, it was just like any other win for the Bears," Trubisky said. "It's important. We got better that week. I felt like I got better that week in my growth and development."And this is a new week to continue to take another step and grow and get better."Trubisky had to laugh at fan suggestions that the protective arm sleeve he wore against Tampa Bay had anything to do with his 354-yard passing effort."I had a little cut on my arm a few weeks ago, and then it reopened in Arizona on the first drive and was just gushing everywhere," Trubisky said. "And I didn't want that to happen, and I covered it up (against Tampa Bay)."And then you play pretty well, some superstition, call it what you want. I also got a lot of threats (from fans) that I have to wear it. Yeah I'm going to keep it on. We'll see what the color is, but it feels comfortable, gives me a little more swag or whatever."Trubisky's passer rating vaulted from 77.8 to 101.6 after his big game. Until then, he'd never had more than two touchdown passes in a game. Now he's had a bye week to move on from the effort.Bears coach Matt Nagy anticipates Trubisky's head won't be turned by one week of success."When you have a good game, it naturally gives you confidence," Nagy said. "What you have to make sure you prevent is making sure that you (don't) get complacent with that and think it's just going to happen every week, because it's not."Nagy hopes Trubisky handles it like the Chiefs' Alex Smith did last year. When Nagy was Chiefs offensive coordinator, Smith went on from a big season-opening win over New England to have a strong, steady year."And that's a veteran quarterback that's been in the league for a long time and he knows how to handle that," Nagy said. "So I can use that to help Mitch in these situations. But the best part of all this is I don't really need to do that, because that's just who he is."Nagy said Trubisky rarely gets his head turned by success or failure anyway, and it apparently affects teammates."It's really impressive," tight end Trey Burton said. "It's one of the hardest things to do is focus on the next play, to not get too high or get too low on a past play. He does a great job with that and we all see it."It's one reason Nagy thinks Trubisky shrugged off his early struggles in the new Bears offense."So he's not going to change because he had one good game, he's going to try to continue to make that a consistent process Atlanta Falcons Womens T-Shirt ," Nagy said.Trubisky thinks he has a predisposition toward consistency."One, I think it's part of my personality, and then two, it's kind of like practice — something I've done for a really long time, really remain the same person and same emotional level throughout the games," Trubisky said. "Never get too high, never get too low, being that even-keeled guy, just trying to convey to my teammates I'm always in control."If Trubisky needs a reminder of how difficult it can be for a quarterback, he's getting it from watching game films of the Dolphins this week.The Tampa Bay defense Trubisky beat badly is ranked last against the pass. But Miami leads the NFL in interceptions with 10, including three by cornerback Xavien Howard."Whether it's opportunistic or skill or whether it's a combination of both, they're around the football," Nagy said. "And to have 10 interceptions in this league, three by Howard, they're a good football team, a good defense, and they make plays."Dealing with success is something Trubisky and the Bears as a team could get used to."It's a whole new, different feeling, and for those of us who were here last year, especially for myself, it's so much better coming into the building, being excited about going to work, about practicing with these guys Atlanta Falcons Hats ," Trubisky said. "Even in the film room and meetings, everyone is just that much more locked-in and loves what they do and is hungry to get better week after week."I guess that's a byproduct of winning, and it's something we just want to continue to keep going and keep growing and getting better."NOTES: Wide receiver Anthony Miller returned to full participation at practice Wednesday after missing the last game with a dislocated shoulder suffered Sept. 23 against Arizona. ... CB Prince Amukamara practiced on a limited basis after missing the Sept. 30 win over Tampa Bay. ... G Eric Kush was limited in practice due to a neck injury. ... CB Marcus Cooper missed practice due to a pulled hamstring. If you’re a Phillies fan, then the words that you heard from owner John Middleton on Friday via Bob Nightengale of USA Today. The golden quote from Middleton is that the Phillies plan to “maybe even be a little bit stupid” about spending money this offseason. He quickly tried to laugh it off by saying that they weren’t going to be “completely stupid” but by then, the hype train had left the station. You heard it straight from man who is signing the checks in Philadelphia: The Phillies are going to be aggressive spenders this offseason, to the point where it could be considered stupid. Naturally, this means that Phillies fans and baseball fans in general could now have dreams of potentially seeing both Manny Machado and Bryce Harper running around Citizens Bank Park in those familiar red pinstripes. That’s exactly what the crew over at The Good Phight is dreaming of at the moment, as they went into detail about just how Philadelphia could possibly afford both superstars and maybe even a couple of other stars as well. They also made sure to note that this doesn’t necessarily mean that Philadelphia is now a lock to go after both. The luxury tax is still a thing and while the baseball decision-makers for the Phillies probably appreciate having the purse strings considerably lightened up, that could be the line that is considered as being “completely stupid.” Maybe we will see Philadelphia go after the two biggest jewels of the free agency class and maybe a miracle can happen and they could end up finding a way to land both superstars and make it work for everybody involved. The odds of that happening are pretty small but at the same time, the baseball world may as well get ready to see the Phillies involved in plenty of Hot Stove rumors and rumblings. This could be an incredibly memorable offseason for Philadelphia or it could end up being relatively disappointing if they don’t go on a spending spree that was hinted at by the owner, himself. Either way, it’s going to be interesting and that’s all that us neutral fans could really ask of them at this point in the offseason. Let’s set this Hot Stove on fire.Hey look, the Marlins have new uniforms (again). In my opinion, they’re not bad at all. What does Grant Brisbee think of them? If you want to know, then he gave his opinion on each new jersey. If you haven’t seen them yet, then now’s your chance. Here’s a spoiler alert: Trevor Story hit the longest home run of the 2018 season. But I’m sure that you want to see that dinger. Fortunately for us, MLB decided to post a video with not just that dinger but 19 of the longest dingers of the season. Apparently the Padres believe that they can get Noah Syndergaard to come to San Diego via trade. If it sounds crazy, Whitney McIntosh believes that it’s actually not all that crazy of an idea. This week has been a long month for the Seattle Mariners. They ended Friday with a bit of a news dump concerning their HR’s review of the ugly situation concerning their treatment of Dr. Lorena Martin. Steve Pearce became a popular figure for the Red Sox during their run to yet another World Series title. He’ll continue to be popular in Boston for 2019 after he agreed to a one-year deal to stay with the Red Sox. We’ve already talked about how the Phillies could be super-aggressive this offseason. Meanwhile in the Bay Area, how aggressive should the A’s be?Anibal Sanchez had himself a nice season pitching for the Braves in 2018 but it’s clear that he’s going to be moving on. Is Milwaukee going to be his next destination?It’s only November but David Robertson is already having himself an adventure of an offseason, for multiple reasons.Meanwhile, here’s hoping that Kenley Jansen’s upcoming heart surgery goes well. The date has officially been set in stone and hopefully all goes well and he can finally put these issues with his heart behind him. Mike Elias has been officially announced as the new GM of the Orioles. Camden Chat came up with five reasons why Orioles fans should be happy with this move. New Era and the Marlins both unveiled neon (or neon-adjecent) gear near the end of this week. According to Whitney McIntosh, one organization did it right and the other organization missed out on a great opportunity.
