They haven't gotten one since then, and the Bears will need to find a way to exploit that. When these teams last played three weeks ago, the Vikings' defense recorded three sacks on Fields.
In the grand scheme of things, the Bears are evaluating from top to bottom to see what changes will be made for next season. Dalton is among those pending free agents looking for a new deal, while Foles - who was the subject of trade rumors earlier this season - probably wouldn't mind being a full-time starter again.
But Fields was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday, putting this start in serious doubt.Īnd Matt Nagy made it official on Friday, saying that Andy Dalton would start against Minnesota with Nick Foles, who led the team to a come-from-behind win in Seattle two weeks ago, serving as the backup. Sunday's game was originally supposed to mark the latest chapter in Fields' development, as Nagy announced that he would start now that he's been cleared from the ankle injury that slowed him down over the last couple of weeks. If they can't convince the Bears to re-sign them, they'll be looking to put something on tape to land a roster spot elsewhere. The Bears also have over 30 pending free agents heading into the offseason, so they'll be playing for their next contracts. So there's less incentive to tank to improve their draft position. So if Nagy isn't coaching to save his job, perhaps he's hoping that this game could help him land his next job wherever that may be.įurthermore, the Bears don't own their first-round pick, which was dealt to the Giants in the trade that netted them Justin Fields. But there's been some buzz that Nagy could get one more chance should the Bears finish the year by winning out. While that hasn't been confirmed, and it's been denied by Nagy himself, the feeling is that the Bears will go in a different direction in 2022. A report surfaced again this week that 2021 will be Matt Nagy's final season as the Bears head coach. ® SEAHAWKS, SEAHAWKS LOGO, SPIRIT OF 12, WE ARE 12, BRING ON THE 12, LEGION OF BOOM, 12 and 12S are trademarks of the Seattle Seahawks.Aside from wanting to finish the season with its longest winning streak of the season, there are other reasons why Chicago wants to win this game.
