Let me start off by saying I expected different results before I started this exercise. After some conversations over the last few years, it seemed as though the Bears were just not a good third quarter team, meaning that they largely were getting out-coached on halftime adjustments. So, why not break out scoring by quarter and show it cumulatively over time. Here’s what that looks like.
The blue line is the first quarter, the second best quarter in the Nagy era at +22 points overall.
