The last time the Bears’ offense was decent, running back Tarik Cohen was at the center of it.
He was coach Matt Nagy’s favorite player in 2018, when the Bears — strongly aided by their defense — finished ninth in the NFL in points. He seemed to have limitless imagination with Cohen as a runner and receiver, and he even schemed for him to throw a touchdown pass at the goal line.
Those Bears were fun to watch, and Cohen was the star of the show. Nagy would really like to get that back. In the two seasons since, Nagy’s offense has spiraled, Cohen has disappeared and punting enthusiasts are the only ones who enjoy watching Bears games.
