CHICAGO -- The lowlight of Matt Nagy’s stint as Chicago Bears head coach may have come in Week 3 this past season, against the Cleveland Browns.
Chicago was coming off a solid win against the eventual AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals. Rookie quarterback Justin Fields was making his first NFL start, but Nagy’s game plan let him down in a big way on that Sunday in Cleveland. Fields was sacked nine times while producing a passer rating of 41.3. From that day forward, the Bears’ offense was a punchline.
The situation was emblematic of Nagy’s tenure, where any success the team had -- whether that be in a given week or even year -- was followed by disappointment.
