Matt Nagy's advice for new Bears coach Ben Johnson: 'Win — and beat the Packers'

NEW ORLEANS — Matt Nagy has five words of advice for Ben Johnson.

“Win,” he said. “And beat the Packers.”

The Bears head coach from 2018-21, Nagy knows of which he speaks. In 2018, the Bears defeated the Packers at Soldier Field to clinch the NFC North. It was his only victory against the Packers — and the franchise’s most recent rivalry win until Thomas Brown won this season’s finale.

Eberflus, Nagy’s replacement, never beat the Packers.
