LAKE FOREST Tom Waddle Color Rush Jersey , Ill. (AP) — The way Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton figured it, no one wants to stop when he’s having fun.Burton looked ahead to this week’s bye for the Bears following a 48-10 victory over Tampa Bay and saw a potential trap for a team with momentum, although coach Matt Nagy anticipates otherwise.“It is the worst possible time to have a bye week,” said Burton, who won a Super Bowl last season with the Eagles. “Two years ago in Philly, we were 3-1 going into the bye, beating teams up, and lost seven out of nine off the bye week.“We have a lot of veteran guys who understand the importance of starting fast when we come back. I wish we didn’t have a bye week right now.”The Bears play again Oct. 14 at Miami, but Nagy is giving his team off the full bye week instead of holding a practice or two, as had been the procedure in Chicago in the past.Nagy on Monday said the decision has nothing to do with Sunday’s easy victory.“This is what we were going to do from the start,” Nagy said. “It’s something that I’ve taken with me from what we’ve done in the past in Philadelphia and in Kansas City.”Nagy coached under Andy Reid with both the Eagles and Chiefs. Reid has a 16-3 record after bye weeks in the regular season.“Coach Reid has had a hell of a record coming after bye weeks,” Nagy said. “It doesn’t mean that you win every time coming off of the bye, but there is a method to the madness. And I think the biggest thing with this is that it’s OK, you want to give your coaches and your players a breather and you have enough trust in them to understand that they’re professionals.”The Bears have injury issues to address and a break could work wonders. They lost backup linebacker Sam Acho for the season on Sunday with a torn pectoral muscle. Cornerbacks Prince Amukamara and Marcus Cooper are recovering from hamstring injuries.There’s also the possibility they could lose defensive end Akiem Hicks to a suspension for bumping an official and being ejected against Tampa Bay.Little else is trending downward after Mitchell Trubisky turned in a passing effort Sunday unequaled by anyone with the franchise since Johnny Lujack threw for six touchdown passes against the Chicago Cardinals in 1949.A week ago Nagy hinted he might scale back parts of the offense to make it easier on Trubisky Sam Acho Jersey , who struggled the first three games. But Trubisky threw for six TDs, 354 yards and had a passer rating of 154.6.Nagy said he actually did little to change the attack beyond going more downfield and “having fun.”“We didn’t lessen it, I can tell you that,” Nagy said. “For where we’re at right now in this offense, we feel like we found a good balance for him.”Maybe it was the sleeve.Trubisky wore a sleeve covering his elbow and a good portion of his right arm, which was new. It even surprised Nagy.“I saw that, too,” Nagy said. “He never told me. But he’ll probably be wearing it in Miami.”One big change in the offense was getting Tarik Cohen more involvedin the passing game. The second-year running back had a career-best 121 yards receiving on seven catches with a touchdown.Cohen often is compared to Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill.“They’re different players,” Nagy said. “Tyreek is exclusively in Kansas City a wide receiver,” Nagy said. “There were times, and there are times, when coach Reid will put him in the backfield and run the ball.“The one difference with Cohen is that he can do both. He is a threat to run the ball between the tackles when he’s in the backfield. But if you move him out and put him in the slot at wide receiver, he’s shown to do that as well.”With a week to ponder their first 3-1 start since 2013, Nagy fully anticipates players returning from rest at a high level https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Devin-Hester-Jersey , although he understood why Burton had concerns about the break.“It’s similar to what you see sometimes in the playoffs when a team gets on a roll and things are going well, and then all of a sudden now they have a bye, and they get that bye and they come back the following week in the playoffs and then they’re just not the same,” Nagy said.The Bears have been practicing since July 19 because they had to play in the Hall of Fame game.So Nagy figures the break is exactly what they need.“Me personally, I’m OK with where this fits. We’ve prepared for it,” he said.

CDTShareTweetShareShareChicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers to kick off the NFL’s 2019 seasonMike DiNovo-USA TODAY SportsWhen the NFL’s 100th anniversary season coincides with the 100th season of the Chicago Bears, it makes sense to honor the two in one celebratory kickoff extravaganza. It’s been widely speculated, but now it’s official, the Green Bay Packers will travel to Soldier Field to play the Bears in the 2019 season opener on Thursday, September 5 at 7:20 p.m. (Chicago time) on NBC.That game is usually reserved for the Super Bowl champs, but with the 100th anniversary coupled with the Bears being defending NFC North champions, the ratings draw is there to buck tradition and showcase the best rivalry in sports. The Super Bowl winning New England Patriots will get the prime time Sunday Night game. Chicago will be looking to build off their 12 win 2018 season with reigning Coach of the Year Matt Nagy leading the way, while the Packers will be looking to bounce back after two consecutive losing seasons with new head coach Matt LaFleur at the helm. This is sure to be a star studded affair with all eight Bears’ Pro Bowlers Danny Trevathan Color Rush Jersey , Mitchell Trubisky, Cody Whitehair, Charles Leno Jr., Tarik Cohen, Khalil Mack, Akiem Hicks, Eddie Jackson, and Kyle Fuller set to face off against Green Bay’s Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers. The last time these two teams faced off in Chicago (12/16/19), the Bears won 24-17 behind Trubisky’s 20 of 28 day passing, 235 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Bears defense sacked Rodgers five times that afternoon. That win clinched the division while knocking the Packers out of playoff contention. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel-USA T
