The biggest game of the season will go down on down on Sunday. The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles are going to square off in Super Bowl 59.

Both teams are already in New Orleans. Players and coaches have been speaking with the media from all over the country. Former Bears head coach Matt Nagy is someone who will be on the sideline for the Super Bowl.

Nagy is the Chiefs offensive coordinator and seeks to secure his third Super Bowl with them. Prior to heading back to Kansas City, the 46-year-old was Chicago's head coach from 2018-2021. During his time there, he went 34-31 with two playoff appearances. He ended up getting fired in 2021 but on Monday night, he gave new head coach Ben Johnson some advice.

When asked about what advice he would give Johnson, Nagy said, "Win. And beat the Packers," with a smile on his face.

Matt Nagy Gives Ben Johnson Some Advice

When Nagy was with Chicago, he went 1-7 against the Packers. His lone win against Green Bay came in 2018. Chicago then went on to lose 11 straight games to them until Chicago snapped that skid in Week 18 of this season.

The rivalry between these teams is one of the oldest ones in the league. It's personal, and Nagy failed miserably in that aspect when he was with the Bears.

Stacking up some wins over Green Bay would put Johnson in the good graces of the fans.

Johnson already took some shots at the Packers in his opening presser. He said, "To be quite frank with you, I kinda enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year."

Having some success over that group is something Chicago needs to do to take that next step as a team. Nagy's advice wasn't much but he hit the nail on the head. Even though he didn't achieve that, he wants Johnson to do so.
