CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy said he hasn’t discussed his future with chairman George McCaskey and president Ted Phillips. The heat on Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace is intensifying. The Bears added more fuel on Sunday when they blew a 10-point lead in the closing minutes against Detroit and fell 34-30 in their sixth straight loss. Nagy said Monday he’s focused on “taking care of these players and this team.” And when asked if he thinks he has management’s support, he said, “Yeah I do.”
CHICAGO (AP) — Mitchell Trubisky made a critical mistake. Chicago’s defense struggled once again. A blocked extra point was costly. The Bears did what bad teams do in their sixth consecutive loss. Trubisky fumbled with 1:48 remaining, leading to Adrian Peterson’s go-ahead touchdown run, and Chicago blew a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter of a 34-30 loss to the Detroit Lions. The Bears had won five in a row against the Lions, including a dramatic 27-23 victory at Detroit in Week 1. Now, Chicago faces the prospect of a housecleaning at the end of the season, with coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace at risk of losing their jobs.
