With a playoff run off the table, Bears coach Matt Eberflus likely will spend the next two weeks or so getting peppered with big-picture questions. That’s what matters most at this stage as team president Kevin Warren and, presumably, general manager Ryan Poles decide what to do with Eberflus, offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and quarterback Justin Fields.
Eberflus seemed to sense that Monday, coming off a meltdown loss to the middling Browns, and shifted slightly into campaign mode as he rattled off a list of ways the Bears have improved in his opening statement. All the progress he pointed to, though, was on defense.
