To Jackson, it all comes back to Rivers’ 43-yard completion to Mike Williams late in the second quarter, which set up the Chargers’ first touchdown of the game. Jackson played the ball, only to have Williams high-point it and stumble to the Bears’ 11. “It was a couple plays left out there,”...

“It was mostly just like a guy who looks super serious, kind of tense. And that’s really not me, especially when you’re going out on the field and playing the game you love. You should be out there having fun, which I usually am. But I’m not showing that. I think I can portray that in different...

Three days after their deflating 17-16 home loss to the Chargers, the Bears return to the practice field Wednesday to continue preparing for Sunday’s game against the Eagles in Philadelphia. After recording three straight wins, the Bears (3-4) have lost three in a row for the first time in...

Much of the positive attention around the Bears this week has gone to running back David Montgomery with good reason. The rookie running back turned heads with a 135-yard effort that varied between chunk plays like his 55-yard run and ground-and-pound sequences, like his five-carry, 23-yard...

I liked the balance the Bears had on offense against the Chargers. But why did they call a running play on third-and-goal from the 9 instead of throwing into the end zone? Edward F. Glenview, Illinois Coach Matt Nagy explained Monday that that Tarik Cohen running play you’re asking about was...

Right guard Rashaad Coward and right tackle Bobby Massie teamed up to drive defensive end Joey Bosa back off the line of scrimmage to the left and into the pursuit path of backside linebacker Drue Tranquill, eliminating him from the play. Center James Daniels sealed off defensive end Isaac...

“There’s a bunch of yellow on here,” Nagy said. “There’s a lot of really good throws in yellow that he made. I’ll just throw one out that’s a special throw—second-and-18 to Trey Burton across the middle. That’s a tough throw. And there are several more on here that are really good throws, but...

"It was just, you know, happy to be out there with my guys," said Smith. "It's just living the dream, so at the end of the day, think about it from that perspective. People would die to be in the position I'm in, so it's just thinking about it from that mindset." Smith's game against the...

"The game was just going the way of rushing today," Montgomery said after the game. "We were just able to rush the ball. That was the flavor of the day today, and it was working." Though the locker room was in a sullen mood after the heartbreaking loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Montgomery's...

“You love the mindset,” said Pagano. “We gave up too many points. He said it perfectly, and we can’t do that. Based on how the game was going, that’s just what our job is, so I loved their mentality. I loved his quote. I love where they’re all coming from.” Aside from the outcome, Pagano spoke...

Kicking it: Coach Matt Nagy defended his decision to settle for a potential game-winning 41-yard field goal attempt as time expired. After Trubisky’s 11-yard scramble had resulted in a first down at the 21, the Chargers called timeout with :43 to play. Trubisky’s kneel-down lost a yard, the...

“Obviously a difficult loss, one that’s tough to swallow, and for a lot of different reasons,” Nagy said. “There are some positives that we can take out of it, but the big negative is that we lost.” The Bears played much better on both sides of the ball than they had in recent weeks, holding...

Keeping the faith: In a similar vein, Nagy reiterated his support for quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Nagy said that any change in quarterback would not happen in the middle of the game. "We have too many things going on right now within our offense and with us in general," said Nagy. "To sit...
