Bears coach Matt Nagy tries not to focus too hard on particular practice plays, but he couldn’t help but get excited when quarterback Mitch Trubisky found tight end Jesper Horsted down the seam during Saturday’s controlled scrimmage.
“I told [Trubisky] I just thought it was a hell of a throw,” he said. “Great vision, great anticipation. And you give a guy a chance to catch the ball and run, that’s all you can ask for. So that was a great play.”
He was less effusive about fellow quarterback Nick Foles’ interception. He believed that pressure forced Foles to pull back on his release and float the ball to safety Eddie Jackson.
