Matt Nagy uses the same phrasing when talking about disasters.
Receiver Javon Wims’ touchdown drop Sunday was a “learning tool.” A false start at the 1-yard line earlier this year was “a good learning moment for us.” Of the blowout loss at Lambeau Field in November, Nagy said: “we’ve got to learn from it, as coaches and as players.”
So it was no surprise Wednesday to hear him use the same wording when describing another crippling disappointment: the Bears’ fall from 12-4 in Nagy’s first year to back-to-back 8-8 seasons.
“We gotta learn from what has happened in that Philadelphia Eagles [playoff] game in 2018 and what has happened in this Saints game in 2020,” he said.
