“We’re going to really emphasize the red zone in training camp,” coach Matt Nagy said.
The Bears were 11th in red zone scoring during Nagy’s first year in Chicago, when they ran the ball better overall using Jordan Howard behind a line still in tune with his running style.
He had the lowest red zone reception percentage in relationship to total targets from among all NFL players who caught at least seven red zone passes, at 38.89%.
Trubisky tied for the league lead in 2019 in red zone interceptions, and last year played only half a season but still threw two red zone picks.
David Montgomery tied for 15th in rushing touchdowns inside the opposing 20 for a second straight year, although it was with seven last season.
