Matt Nagy Calls Out Players after Loss to Packers
Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy wasn’t happy with the way hit team played in their 41-25 loss to Green Bay on Sunday and challenged the team to “wake up” and “have some personal pride” after the embarrassing loss.
“I know this: We better wake our tails up,” Nagy said on a Monday Zoom call. “Every freaking coach on the staff, every player, better wake up and start understanding where we’re at. Have some personal pride. Have a freaking sense of urgency. Know where we’re at. Have some pride into who we’re playing for and why we do this and then go find a way to win as a team. That’s my challenge to every single person in that building this week is that.
“Yesterday was flat-out embarrassing, and our guys know it. I’m not telling you something they don’t know. They know it. But we’re going to step up and all coaches, all players, and we’ve got five games left. For us, it’s our own personal challenge as to where we’re at and how we’re going to do this thing. But that performance yesterday is ridiculous and can’t happen, and obviously that starts with me.”
Chicago Bears Matt Nagy Livid
The Bears have now lost five straight games and gave their worst defensive performance of the season on Sunday night, failing to get a hit or sack Aaron Rodgers, who completed 21-of-29 for 211 yards and four touchdowns (132.3 passer rating).
“That’s not who our defense is,” Nagy said. “And our guys, they need to understand where we’re coming from with that and how we feed off of them as a defense. They’ve done a hell of a job all year long but yesterday was not where we need to be.”
