Matt Nagy remains closely tied to quarterback room

Chicago Bears: First-time head coach Matt Nagy remains closely tied to the quarterback room and particularly starter Mitchell Trubisky. Nagy was hired in part because of his expertise at the position, but early returns from Trubisky are not overwhelming. The latest adjustment Nagy will attempt this week is scaling back the game plan to simplify the approach and narrow the focus for the second-year starter. "If a teacher goes, 'Do you guys want an easy test?' You're going to say, 'Heck yeah.' The less you've got to study, I'm going to ace this test," Trubisky said Wednesday. "We're going to pull back this week. Do I play faster? Do I play better? I guess we're all going to see."

Detroit Lions: Golden Tate leads the Lions with 20 receptions for 257 yards in three games, but he's only reception and one yard ahead of Kenny Golladay. Marvin Jones leads the team with an average of 14.8 yards per reception. The leveled production from the trio creates a headache for opposing secondaries. "In my mind, we just have three No. 1 receivers," Tate said. "Pick your poison. I think we've all started off pretty hot. It's a good problem to have, having three dominant receivers."

Green Bay Packers: The Packers are making sluggish starts a trend, falling in deep holes against the Chicago Bears and Washington Redskins. Wide receiver Randall Cobb said urgency is becoming a buzzword in position and team meetings. "You always want to start fast," Cobb said. "Start fast, you put yourself in a good position. Offensively when we start fast we move the ball well, open up different facets of the game -- running game, play-action pass, the linebackers start to suck up a little bit and open up the back end."

Minnesota Vikings: Rams quarterback Jared Goff gets a second swing at the Vikings' defense in his young career after a visit to Minneapolis in November 2017, a 24-7 loss for Los Angeles. "They're a great defense, they have been for a long time, and the stuff they do presents challenges and gave us a lot of fits last year when we went to their place and had to deal with that," Goff said. "They brought back a lot of the same guys and are going to bring back the same type of stuff defensively, so we're going to have to deal with it again." The Rams had 179 total yards and 10 first downs in the loss. The two teams meet again Thursday in Los Angeles.
