Bears back in the playoffs, and it’s all good for Matt Nagy

Bears coach Matt Nagy gave his players Sunday night to “feel like crap” about a 35-16 loss to the Packers. Now, they’re a playoff team.

“When you have guys that care a lot, they could care less about backing in or whatever it is,” Nagy said. “What they care about is that they understand that they earned it.

“Someone the other day said we’re the third team since 1970 to lose six in a row and go to the playoffs, and that’s not easy. Eight and Eight — no, it’s not perfect. We understand that. We have a lot of things to get better at, but we can’t worry about that.
