Bears coach Matt Nagy defiant when questioned about call before blown kick
Matt Nagy played scared and lost. Frank Reich played it safe and his kicker made him look smart.
The Chicago Bears lost 17-16 to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday because Eddy Pineiro missed a 41-yard field goal after Nagy had quarterback Mitchell Trubisky take a knee on first-and-10 from the 21 with 43 seconds remaining.
The Indianapolis Colts beat the Denver Broncos 15-13 on Adam Vinatieri's 51-yard field goal after Reich called two runs to set up a long field goal.
Both coaching philosophies were conservative, but the results were different because of execution.
