Bears' Nagy to stick with playcalling and Foles
Wednesday, October 28, 2020

(LAKE FOREST, IL) – Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy does not intend to relinquish playcalling duties or revert back to quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in the wake of Monday night's disastrous 24-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Through seven games, and a 5-2 record, the Chicago offense ranks 27th in points per game (19.7), 30th in yards per play (4.8), 30th in yards per run (3.8), 29th in yards per pass (5.6), 30th on third-down conversions (35.1%) and 29th in red zone efficiency (47.6%). Nagy benched Trubisky in Week 3 in favor of Nick Foles, who went 28 of 40 for 261 yards and two interceptions against the Rams. Foles has thrown for 1,139 yards, six touchdowns and six interceptions in five appearances (four starts). Foles is the 27th-ranked NFL passer in terms of QBR (46.2). At the time of the quarterback change, Trubisky had passed for 560 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions. The No. 2 pick in 2017, Trubisky guided Chicago to the postseason in 2018 but regressed badly last year, which prompted the Bears to trade for Foles in the offseason. The Bears return home to face the New Orleans Saints (4-2) on Sunday.
