1ST HALF
The game started out well for the Bears offense. On the first play, Foles sees the slot CB over Miller start creeping up to the LOS, as well as the safety to take the CB’s position.

He reads the man coverage blitz and immediately goes to Miller for an easy 8 yards...
***CLIP #1***
***CLIP#2***
Foles motions Robinson, which clears out the second safety...
***CLIP***
This leaves Wims with a ten yard cushion on Lattimore, and a definite leverage advantage. Foles takes the easy 9 yards...
***CLIP***
Montgomery barrels into the back of Ifedi, who falls over and onto the leg of Massie...
***CLIP***
Mustipher with a great block against the linebacker to spring a 5 yard gain. Also of note on this play, Kmet stands tall 1 on 1 against a defensive end. All while Jimmy Graham stands around and does nothing. An absolutely dreadful effort by Graham on this play, otherwise this could have been a much longer gain...
***CLIP***
Next play, Mustipher delivers a wild snap, but Foles snatches it without a problem and gets it to Miller for the 1st down...
***CLIP***
This play gets blown up, it’s literally all Montgomery for the first down...
***CLIP***
Drive finally stalls on a sack where Coward is caught well out of position during a DE stunt...
***CLIP***
Next possession begins with a promising run play where the offensive line gets a huge push against the defensive front...
***CLIP***
After that play, the Saints defense begins to cheat up in order to stop the run...
***CLIP***
And they end up getting caught with no deep safety...
***CLIP #1***
***CLIP #2***
Drive ends with a really nice endzone corner route play design against man coverage...
***CLIP***
Nagy loves these types of plays, but they do take some time to develop, and the offensive line did hold up on this particular play...

JT O’Sullivan, a longtime backup QB, and provider of great NFL content (was responsible for breaking down opponents tape on several different NFL teams), was once asked what’s the difference between a backup NFL an and a legitimate starting NFL QB. He said the main difference across the board was consistency in accuracy. A legit NFL an could put the ball where he wanted whenever he wanted most times, while accuracy would come and go for back up QB’s.
We saw some of this from Foles in this game and previouslyComing off that great TD drive, he throws this drive killer incompletion to Graham on the very next possession. You are probably not trying to lead Graham here because of the charging safety, but the ball was clearly thrown behind him...

Near the end of the first half, the Bears snap off their biggest run of the season. Spriggs clears out the DE Davenport using his own momentum. Ifedi bulldozes both Mustipher and the DT Tittle. Rankins collapses in pain after the falling Mustipher falls on and bends his leg. Montgomery makes the LB in the hole miss. The TD was saved by the speedy Lattimore (#23). He caught up to Montgomery so quickly from the trailing position, that it did not allow Montgomery to cut to the sideline and avoid the safety who had the angle on him. Bears ended up kicking the field goal.
