Bears at the Bye: Eddy Pineiro has been Matt Nagy's best decision of 2019

Matt Nagy's first season as head coach of the Chicago Bears was a near-impossible act to follow. The Bears went 12-4, won the NFC North and, let's be honest, if they had a competent kicker in last year's wild-card game against the Eagles, he'd have a playoff win on his resume too.

Nagy was named the 2018 NFL Coach of the Year, but with such success comes higher expectations and unexpected challenges.

Following such a dominant season on defense, Vic Fangio was one of the hottest coaching candidates on the circuit last offseason. He was hired by the Broncos to become Denver's new head coach, which thrust Nagy into a coaching search of his own to find a new defensive coordinator.
