When any team falls well short of expectations, changes are deemed inevitable. The Chicago Bears, two full days after their playoff elimination at the hands of the New Orleans Saints, are no exception.
Kevin Fishbain of “The Athletic” has reported that Bears Defensive Coordinator Chuck Pagano is set to retire from the NFL, effective immediately.
The Bears’ defense certainly did not perform to their usual standard this season. After starting off red-hot at 5-1, and near the top of the league in every statistical category, a major decline was observed.
