NFC North Notes: Bears, Lions, Vikings

Bears

Bears HC Matt Nagy says โ€œitโ€™s kind of like a kid in a candy storeโ€ regarding how theyโ€™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,โ€ Nagy said via NBC Sportsโ€™ J.J. Stankevitz. โ€œBut 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€
