He showed mobility and accuracy on the move, finding a wide open Gunner Olszewski to his left on the Steelers’ opening possession. Trubisky also avoided a would-be sack for a short game.

The warm weather meant that winter wheat and barley could be harvested early on the estate’s 2,428 hectares (6,000 acres) of cultivated land.
