Bears becoming more collaborative as OC Bill Lazor settles into play-calling role

The Bears have feasted on poor defenses the last two games, but regardless of who they’re playing, the offense looks more cohesive and purposeful than at any other time in the last two seasons.

It’s a shame it took this long, but coach Matt Nagy’s relinquishment of play calling to offensive coordinator Bill Lazor appears to have opened up the offensive staff to a more collaborative approach.

Nagy sees better communication between possessions, which implied that the assistants weren’t speaking up as much when their boss was the one calling plays. And quarterback Mitch Trubisky, seemingly emboldened by the realization that his future is now in his hands as an upcoming free agent, no longer hesitates to assert himself in game planning.
