Bears’ Anthony Miller on coach Matt Nagy’s key play call in win vs. Vikings

The Chicago Bears had worked on the play all week.

On Sunday night, coach Matt Nagy dialed it up: a throw from quarterback Mitchell Trubisky to wide receiver Anthony Miller. The 18-yard connection capped an 82-yard drive and gave the Bears an 11-0 lead that would provide all the momentum necessary on the way to a 25-20 victory against the Minnesota Vikings Sunday night.

‘Mitch gave me a good ball and I went down and got it’

“Oh, yeah, it gave us a lot of momentum,” Miller told Zig Fracassi and Brad Hopkins on NFL Rewind. “That’s a play we’ve been working on throughout the entire week. We executed to perfection. Mitch gave me a good ball and I went down and got it.”

Nagy was at his creative best, using plenty of hurry-up offense and moving the pocket with designed roll-outs.

‘All we’ve got to do is go out and execute, and that’s what we did’

“Coach Nagy, he’s a great offensive mind,” Miller said. “We believe in him a hundred percent, whatever route he decides to take throughout the game. All we’ve got to do is go out and execute, and that’s what we did.”
