Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy was himself till the bitter end.
But after the game, Nagy talked to his team about life lessons. He told his players to “let this stuff right here refine you, not define you.” He spent nearly 16 minutes taking questions from reporters, a stark contrast to John Fox’s final press conference in Minneapolis that barely lasted a minute four years ago.
“You've gotta use it to make yourself better,” Nagy said. “Regardless of what happens, whether it's with another player or with myself, I promise you I'm gonna do that. I'm going to let this refine me not define me.” But Sunday in Minnesota, Nagy still clung to some positivity. He tried as best as he could to hype up a flawed roster, referencing linebacker Roquan Smith — his first draft pick in 2018 — and the promising future of Justin Fields.
"I think when you switch quarterbacks, there's things that go into that,” Andy Dalton said Sunday about the revolving door at quarterback in 2021. “There’s a lot of time that was spent in training camp with guys that they didn't get with Justin, it went to Justin, and then when he got hurt and I'm back in there and then Nick gets to play — I think there's just a lot of things that go into that.
