It wasn't a pretty performance by Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles on Thursday, as they scrapped through a victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 20-19. Foles struggled early in the contest, but ultimately stepped it up in crunch time to lead his team to a tightly-contested victory.

After the game, Bears head coach Matt Nagy had nothing but good things to say about his quarterback, saying how he expects nothing less from Foles:

“That’s who he is,” Nagy said, via Michael David Smith of NBC Sports. “All in all, the offense made plays when they had to, and I think that’s one of the special traits Nick has.”

Foles and the Bears showed their resilience on Thursday, as they mounted a come-from-behind victory against a shorthanded Bucs side. In his mind, Foles believes that his team's ability to overcome adversity is one of the biggest takeaways from their win against Tampa Bay.

“It wasn’t an easy game by any means,” Foles said. “We just kept fighting, kept fighting, and everyone just kept throwing punches. I would say the big thing from tonight was we got to learn how to go through a fistfight like this and come out on top. You don’t want them every week, but if that’s what it takes to win every week, that’s what we’ll do.”

Foles went 30-of-42 for his passes on Thursday for 243 yards. He had one touchdown and an interception. It was far from an exceptional performance for him, but in the end, a win is a win.
