Mike Glennon finally looks to be holding his own after back-to-back preseason contests that featured Mitch Trubisky stealing the show.
In the Chicago Bears' win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday afternoon, both Glennon and Trubisky fared well enough to keep their spots as the team's No. 1 and No. 2 quarterbacks, respectively.
Glennon had his best showing as a Bear, completing 11-of-18 passes for 134 yards with one touchdown and no turnovers. He spread the ball well among his receivers and was able to confidently look downfield after resorting to a flurry of checkdowns in his previous preseason action.

After beginning training camp as the team's third quarterback, Trubisky worked his way up while completing over 72 percent of his passes across the first two preseason contests.

The NFL's second overall pick had another satisfying performance against the Titans, in which he received snaps with the Bears' first-team offense. His completion percentage dropped, but his results did not while playing against part of Tennessee's top defense. Trubisky completed 10-of-15 passes for 128 yards with one touchdown and no turnovers, though he did have a fumble that he recovered himself.

The Bears have not publicly considered replacing Glennon as their starting quarterback to this point. So, with the team's fourth exhibition game - in which starters typically don't dress - coming against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday, Trubisky will likely see extended time on the field.
