Matt Nagy won't make call on Bears starting QB for Week 4 just yet

The Chicago Bears replaced starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky with Nick Foles in the second half of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Foles and the Bears edged the Falcons 30-26 with a comeback in the fourth quarter, but it appears Trubisky may not be out as the team's starter just yet. 

Head coach Matt Nagy hasn't made a decision yet on who the team's starting quarterback will be moving forward, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, but you could infer that the team will start Foles in Week 4.

On Sunday, Trubisky was benched at the start of the third quarter after throwing an interception to Falcons cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson. On the ensuing drive, Atlanta scored a field goal on the drive following the interception to take a 26-10 lead.

Trubisky completed 13 of 22 passes for 128 yards with one touchdown against one interception.

Foles, who Chicago acquired via trade from the Jacksonville Jaguars, threw an interception on his first drive of the game... which isn't ideal, but he certainly bounced back in the win. He ended the game on 16-of-29 passing for 188 yards and three touchdowns against one interception. 

While the Falcons collapsed for the second week in a row, there's no doubt Foles played a major role in Chicago's win to push the team to a 3-0 start.
