The Chicago Bears' downward spiral continued in Week 12 after another tough loss this time against the Green Bay Packers. Bears head coach Matt Nagy was evidently furious with the result of their most recent tilt and knows that change has to start from himself, as per The Athletic‘s Jon Greenberg.
Matt Nagy getting fired up in his Zoom. Two “freakings” in one answer, in which he called yesterday’s game “ridiculous and it can’t happen and obviously that starts with me.”

The 2018 NFL Coach of the Year also wanted his players to show their pride and have a sense of accountability for the team's recent struggles, via NFL Network‘s Andrew Siciliano.
Nagy is calling out players and coaches.
"Have some personal pride. Have a freaking sense of urgency."
"Yesterday was flat-out embarrassing."

Nagy continued on and express his dismay over the situation with clear intentions of ending their five-game losing skid, as quoted by 670 The Score‘s Chris Emma.
Matt Nagy: "We better have some stinking fire and you better have some character. … Enough is enough. We all feel it."

The Bears went back to their initial starting quarterback in Mitchell Trubisky for the first time since Week 3 of the season. He looked out of control in most parts of the game, having thrown two picks and was sacked thrice by the Packers.
He failed to make plays in the pocket which resulted in an inefficient 26/46 passing clip for 242 yards. Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson hoped to contribute with 74 receiving yards on eight catches and two scoring touchdowns while running back David Montgomery added 40 receiving yards on five receptions and a score on the endzone.
On the opposite end of the field, the Packers were firing from all cylinders with quarterback Aaron Rodgers leading from the offense's forefront. His performance ultimately secured the 41-25 victory for his team against the listless Bears.
Despite the odds of having a dismal 5-6 record, anything can still happen once Matt Nagy and his team start to pick up the slack and overcome their slump along the way.
The Chicago-based squad will have to put on stronger performances in their remaining games to hopefully snag a seat heading into the postseason.
