Bears coach Matt Nagy weighs in on proposed onside kick change

The NFL will vote Thursday on whether to replace onside kicks with an offensive play: fourth-and-15, played from the kicking team’s own 25-yard line.

For it to pass, 24 of 32 owners must approve the proposal in a virtual meeting.

Bears coach Matt Nagy said he’s fine with either result, but sounded intrigued by the offensive try.

“Whatever they say I’m cool with,” he told NBC Sports Network’s “The Rich Eisen Show” on Wednesday. “I think that what you have to do is, it’s fourth-and-15, you gotta start having some plays that are going to give you the best opportunity possible.
