Bears coach Matt Nagy, QB Mitch Trubisky downplay ‘heated’ sideline exchange

Matt Nagy generally takes a friendly tone with Bears players, but there’s no telling what will come out of his mouth amid the intensity of a game.

ESPN zoomed in on a sideline confrontation between Nagy and quarterback Mitch Trubisky during its broadcast of the Bears’ win over the Redskins on Monday, and Nagy appeared to hit him with, “Shut the [expletive] up.”

Nagy didn’t clarify the transcript of that conversation, but dismissed the notion of any discord between him and Trubisky.

“I have a little bit of a heated side to me at times and I think there’s nothing wrong with that, but Mitch does, too,” Nagy said.
