One game from 2016 illustrates the potential of the Nick Foles-Bears marriage

Chicago sports fans anxious to see new Bears quarterback Nick Foles in action under Matt Nagy (sort of) don't have to wait, they can simply take a trip down memory lane. Bears' head coach Matt Nagy was the Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks coach in 2016 when the squad faced off with the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. In that matchup, starting quarterback Alex Smith went out twice due to head injuries and Nick Foles came to fill-in with great success.

With Andy Reid as the head coach, Brad Childress as the offensive coordinator, and Nagy as the quarterbacks' coach, Foles excelled in the Chiefs West Coast offense with many of the same elements as the Bears system.
