Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy returning to calling plays on offense

LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy ended any suspense over who will call the team's offensive plays in 2021.

The former NFL coach of the year confirmed on Friday that he will handle play calling duties after temporarily ceding the responsibility to offensive coordinator Bill Lazor for a time last season.

"I'm going to be the one calling the plays this year and so I know that you'll probably be asking that so we can just let you know that from the front end," Nagy said on a Zoom call.

Last year, the Bears struggled the find any rhythm on offense until a late-season three-game winning streak lifted Chicago to a wild card playoff berth.
