As has been said in this space more than once before, it is not important that the NFL be an artistic success, but a success. And after all the talk and re-talk about the details of the loss to the Green Bay Packers, "it was time to stop barking," said coach Matt Nagy, "and get started to bite. "
After a more demoralizing defeat in the last decade, the Bears defense opened a dangerously tight game with two points in the fourth quarter, a six-down pick from cornerback Prince Amukamara, scoring a 24-17 victory over Seattle. The Seahawks team has sometimes seemed more eraser to the shoe that the Super Bowl team, a few years ago, had chosen.
Anyway, the victory was the first in Nagy's coaching career, helped eliminate any unpleasant taste left by the collapse of Green Bay and earned Nagy a match ball from his team.
"It feels good," said Nagy. "For me, however, it's more – and I mean – it's more about us, and it's so neat to start here for my first meeting, meeting." team, meet all the guys and see us grow up. I look forward to seeing the future of this team and I can not wait to see how we will react not only to the tough defeats like Green Bay, but now we are reacting to a good win for us. "
The Bears were able to draw even in the NFC North with Green Bay (1-1) and avoided losing their first two games. games for the first time in four years.
Four quarters, please
The outgoing mantra of Green Bay was the need to play a game of four quarters. That happened, in the form of the Bears scoring offensive and defensive touchdowns in the fourth quarter after they closed last Sunday late against the Packers.
"It's just a preview," said linebacker Danny Trevathan, who led the Bears with 8 tackles, including 2 sacks and a forced fumble. "We are just starting. We finally had four quarters, although we could do a lot better. But it's a start.
And a finish, which was finally the critical point, the one that was missing in Green Bay.
The question was very much in question until the end of the last quarter. The once-powerful Seahawks, the losers of five of their last six games dating back to last year, were held 80 yards in three quarters and opened a 17-3 lead at Trubisky and Anthony in the fourth quarter on a go 10 yards. Miller.
"We were walking on the field with a race match," said Trubisky, "a little action game and Anthony ran a great course and that's what we saw all Training camps, all the practices, and he made a super catch, so I just put it where it needed to be.
"When we have all 11 guys on the same page, that's what's going on in this offensive, so we have to keep doing it and continue to find ways to score in the red zone, so I'm going to get it. I thought situation. "
He did not finish the Seahawks. Rather the opposite. Seattle nearly equaled his total yards at the time with a series of 75 practices ending with a Russell Wilson pass in favor of Tyler Lockett at the expense of cornerback Kyle Fuller.
The Seahawks then reached 46 after stopping three saves at the Bears. But cornerback Prince Amukamara, with no interception in three calendar years, passed running back Rashaad Penny in the left apartment and took part in Wilson's pass near the midfield.
Seattle scored a final score on Wilson's two-yard touchdown pass to tight winger Will Dissly with 14 seconds remaining. The Bears have recovered a free kick and the case has been settled.
"We will continue to grow," said Nagy. "The last two games, we had difficulty there in the third and fourth quarter against Green Bay, but most of the time, our defense plays fast and revolves around. They helped us offensively. They helped the offensive.
"There will be times when the offensive will help the defense go out. In the end, the thing that matters, and that's all.
