No one could blame Bears coach Matt Nagy for wanting to move on from the haphazard ending of the loss to the Chargers at this point and shift attention to the upcoming game at the Eagles, but it remains under investigation.
On top of all the evident ways in which the Bears botched their chance at winning on a last-second field goal, kicker Eddy Pineiro said it wasn’t his preference to set the ball up on the left hash for his 41-yard try. He missed, and they lost 17-16 to fall to 3-4.
So how, with all the strategizing and attention to detail that typically goes into coaching an NFL game, did the Bears give Pineiro the least advantageous angle when they had total control over ball placement as Mitch Trubisky kneeled on the previous play?
