The Chicago Bears have lost four straight games and are staring down 3-5 with no sign of an arrow pointed up.
Whatever people expected from the Bears this season, it wasn’t this. Their once-dominant defense has been made average by its offense’s struggles to sustain drives, and the offense has been about as unwatchable as one can get.
How does a team that went 12-4 a season ago suddenly find themselves with more losses than a season ago after just eight games? Bears coach Matt Nagy has come under fire for his team’s performance this season.
But safety Eddie Jackson says the team is still behind the coaching staff during a weekly interview with Mully and Haugh on 670 The Score.
“We are 100% behind our coaches,” Jackson said, via NBC Sports Chicago. “Coach Nagy, man, if people really understand the type of coach coach Nagy is they wouldn’t even question trying to blame him for what’s going on. Coach Nagy is a players’ coach. He listens to us. He does everything for us to make our bodies feel good or help us with practice, help us learn how we feel is best for the team. That’s one thing we love about him.”
The Bears will face the equally-stumbling Detroit Lions (3-4-1) Sunday at Soldier Field, and Chicago is searching for an answer to their losing skid.
“We just got to come together and fix the problem,” Jackson said. “Like he said, there’s nothing to say, it’s just fix the problem. It’s as simple as that. We love coach Nagy because he takes responsibility for his mistakes so when you see a coach like that that holds himself accountable, as a player it makes you hold yourself and your teammates accountable. We definitely are behind coach Nagy 110%. That’s never going to change. Not at all. That’s not even a question.”
While Nagy hasn’t lost his locker room, you have to wonder how long that’ll be the case if the losses continue to mount.
