Offensive baby steps lead to a win in Denver

After the Chicago Bears seemed allergic to running the ball in their week one loss, head coach Matt Nagy did his best John Fox impression by calling 29 running plays to only 27 passing plays this week in Denver. While this wasn’t the first time in Nagy’s play calling career that he dialed up more runs than passes, his commitment to the run was needed with the Bears playing in the high heat and high altitude. Winning against the Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium in September is no joke, and Nagy and the Bears escaped with a 16 to 14 win.
