Matt Nagy’s ‘dark side’ comes out as he searches for answers to the struggling Bears offense: ‘When is the offense going to step up and take over?’

Nagy reviewed film of Sunday’s 24-21 loss to the Raiders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, and found only a little time for sleep before facing questions about the defeat as the team packed up and prepared for the return flight to Chicago.

The usually stout Bears defense was trampled as the Raiders rushed for 169 yards and had two touchdown drives of 90 or more yards. The pass rush didn’t produce a sack and Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was 25 of 32 for 229 yards despite missing his two best receivers. Nagy said the belief is that was an aberration, the kind of all-at-once slump by defensive players that won’t be an issue moving forward.
