Well, it sounds like a different defense. We'll see.
The Bears’ final 51 plays of the evening, spanning three quarters, totaled just 154 more yards. They didn’t score another touchdown, settling for just two field goals.
The Bears went 3 for 4 on third down in those first 15 plays, just 4-for-13 the rest of the way.
“We expected a lot of man on third-and-short and they came out and played a bunch of zone,” Nagy said. “Credit to them for mixing it up. A lot of our calls were built for man. We had some risky calls that we just went with and we blew them and they just made plays that we didn’t. Just have to go back to the film, continue to learn and, like I said, it’s tough when we don’t have on-scout looks.
“We don’t know what they’re going to bring and you’ve just got to trust the play and hopefully our execution beats theirs. But, credit to them for coming up with those stops and we’ve just got to do better because those are big plays.”
Weather the storm.
“Once everything settled down,” Clark began, slapping a fist into an open palm. “It went perfect.”
