The Chicago Bears have not had the best season, to say the least, and for head coach, Matt Nagy, it came to a boiling point on Monday night in a 17-9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. With just under two minutes remaining in the third quarter, referee Terrence Miles flagged Bears safety Deon Bush for unnecessary roughness. The problem for Miles was, Nagy saw the whole incident and was certain that his team was not in the wrong. He then proceeded to rip into the referee and earned an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty of his own. Nagy was asked about the blow-up after the game and had this to say to the Chicago Sun-Times:

“I saw what happened,” Nagy said, defending himself. “Our guys are fighting their asses off to get off the field. I stated my opinion on it. And I don’t regret it.” -Matt Nagy

Before adding:

“It starts with me, and it ends with me, I accept complete responsibility for that.” -Matt Nagy

Nagy had another incident later in the game in which he very forcefully threw a challenge flag onto the field.

It seemed he was letting out a little bit of frustration about a Bears season that has been circling the drain for months. Nagy likely sees the writing on the wall that he is a goner after this season and finally snapped. Despite playing in one of the league's worst divisions, the Bears have had the look of an NFC doormat and an easy win since midway through the season. They are now 4-10 on the year and haven't beaten anyone but the Lions in two months.
