The fashion in which the Bears lost last week's matchup against the Green Bay Packers has been seen before in Chicago's recent history. Not only was it the third time in the past 11 years in which they've lost on a missed field goal in which they attempted instead of running another play beforehand, but all the coaches had very similar responses.
In 2013, Marc Trestman attempted a 47-yard field goal on second down in overtime against the Minnesota Vikings that was missed by Robbie Gould. In 2019, Matt Nagy opted to have quarterback Mitch Trubisky take a knee on first down, so that Eddy Pineiro could kick a potential game-winner against the Chargers.
