Offensive baby steps lead to a win 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.
