3 things that stood out from Matt Nagy after the 4 week victory over Lions

This motivation was evident in the 4 and 9 bruises of David Montgomery and 4 yards of Damien Williams.

“A couple of the cross-country runs we had when you look at the tape, you really see the end result,” Nagy said. “When you put the finish on the tape and you see how excited the guys are after they’ve collected the juice, energy, vibration that I felt watching the tape last night and this morning offensively.

“Overall, I’m proud of our friends. I’m proud of our coaches and players for getting up to stand. The weekend was tough. Everyone wanted to recover from it, and I think the players did a great job.” responsible. “

(2) Nagy was also impressed with how well the defense worked, especially in the red zone.

The Bears kept the Lions with just one touch on their five trips within 20, and Detroit failed to score goals after advancing to Chicago 8, 5, 3 and 8. Two takeaways and two stops on the fourth landing were suspended.

Robert Quinn’s Jared Goff tape / sack produced a failure that Khalil Mack recovered, and Alec Ogletree jumped high to counter Goff’s pass, which was meant to launch D’Andre Swift. Lions also donated a takeaway to the Bears when a mistaken click replaced Goff and Bilal Nichols was left in the air.

“As a defense team, getting those stops in the red zone was great,” Nagy said. “Getting these takeaways was great.”

The Bears ’starting indoor lineups finished in the team in 1-2 matches when Ogletree reached the top of his career with 12 stops and Roquan Smith added 10.

“[Ogletree] tilted the ball to the goal area; made a spectacular play there, “Nagy said.” He flew around everywhere. I really felt like he and Roquan got in the way there and did different things. “

The pass rush also continued to yield; With four sacks on Sunday, the Bears raised their season to a total of 15, the most in the NFL.

(3) Nagy saw the final growth from beginner quarterback Justin Fields, who started his second straight start in place of injured veteran Andy Dalton.

The fields made 11/17 passes at 209 yards with a single interception and 82.7 bypass ratings. He combined the 64- and 32-yard passports for Darnell Mooney and the 28- and 27-yard Allen Robinson II.

“When I go back to watch the tape, I thought he saw the channels pretty well,” Nagy said. “There were two high levels of security and right away [one was] coming down. It’s hard as a quarterback no matter who you are. I thought he did a good job of understanding in retrospect.

“In Cleveland, it wasn’t always like this every moment. I felt it was all of us, more than watching the attack and what happened to the attacking players. Yesterday we watched a lot of what’s going on in the defense. It’s a positive step for him.”

Nagy was impressed with how Fields handled the adversity he experienced when Bears lost Browns. “He’s one of the best I’ve been with,” Nagy said. “For 22-year-olds, this is rare. It started with us on Monday morning after that game, and we can discuss why things went the way they did as head coach, he as quarterback, we as a team event through it and saying, ‘OK, how do we fix it?’
