Matt Nagy remembers fondly how loud the Soldier Field crowd was the last time the Vikings came to town. He wants more of the same Sunday.
“We had that last year and we want to keep that going,” the Bears coach said Thursday. “It’s a division game and our players completely feed off of that passion.”
Still, Nagy acknowledged that the Bears heard when the home crowd booed the offense — often — in their season-opening dud against the rival Packers.
His solution: play better.
“You hear it at times,” Nagy said. “And any human being, you don’t really want people booing for you, let alone your home fans. So we want to play better so they can cheer better.
“But all in all, the advantage that we have from that crowd and just how loud that they get, it was awesome. And we love that. So the more of that we get, the better. It helps us out and helps us win.”
