Bears rookie linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski had the best day of his young career starting for the injured and suspended pair of inside linebackers Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman. The West Virginia product had nine tackles including two for losses.

In fact, Kwiatkoski was so physical that he knocked the Bears’ trademark ‘C’ off the side of his helmet.

Kwiatkoski was equally effective in the run and the pass, as evidenced by this play late in the fourth quarter.

The Bears rookies put on a show in Week 13 at Soldier Field, giving Bears fans hope and excitement over the young players from this year’s draft class. Kwiatkoski, Jordan Howard and Leonard Floyd all starred in the Bears’ third win of the year and will each play big roles over the last month of the 2016 regular season.
