This game had all of the makings of a trap game for the Bears. Matt Nagy and the rest of Chicago’s coaching staff made sure that their team didn’t take the struggling Bills lightly, and didn’t look too far ahead at their divisional matchups. Even with key players like Mack, wide receiver Allen Robinson II, and guard Kyle Long out of the lineup, the coaching staff had their reserves prepared to do exactly what they were supposed to do in a game against an inferior opponent.
