Bears head coach Matt Nagy will return to calling plays in 2021, he revealed Friday.
Offensive coordinator Bill Lazor took over those duties for the last seven regular-season games last season, with generally positive results. The Bears scored 30 or more points in four-straight games in December, winning three of them.
The Bears lost to the Vikings in Lazor’s debut and, following a bye, got blown out in Green Bay in Mitch Trubisky’s first game back from injury. Following a home loss to the Lions, the Bears won three-straight games before losing to the Packers in the season finale and to the Saints in the playoffs.
