Kicking off the NFL's 100th season, the Chicago Bears mustered just three points in a 10-3 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Following the game, head coach Matt Nagy was quick to voice his frustration but shouldered the blame for his team's lackluster offensive performance.

"Obviously, (our level of play was) unacceptable," Nagy told reporters, according to 670 The Score's David Haugh. "It starts with me. I told the guys this is not who we were. I told the defense they played their ass off tonight.

"Every fan that showed up that was a Chicago Bears fan, they should be upset," he added, via The Athletic's Mark Lazerus. "Because that's not who we are. We're better than that. And it starts with me."

Chicago's scoring unit totaled 254 yards on the night, converting 20% of its third downs while accumulating just 46 rushing yards. Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky largely disappointed in his 2019 debut, struggling with accuracy and decision-making.

Despite the poor performance, Nagy claimed he was "in zero panic mode," per Lazerus.

"We don't hold on to this stuff," he said. "Losers hold on to this stuff."

The Bears head to Mile High Stadium in Week 2 to take on the Denver Broncos.
