NFC North Notes: Bears, Lions, Vikings

Bears

Bears HC Matt Nagy says “itโ€™s kind of like a kid in a candy store” regarding how they’ll use free agent acquisition Cordarrelle Patterson in his offense.  

โ€œYou see what he did in New England with the jet sweeps, the arounds, the screens, and I think that thatโ€™s a good fit for him,” Nagy said via NBC Sports’ J.J. Stankevitz. “But for me, itโ€™s kind of like a kid in a candy store. You get to kind of pick which candy you like best, put it together and figure out what he does best.โ€
