CLEVELAND — The Bears fell apart again, and this should be the last time general manager Ryan Poles needs to see that to grasp that they need significant changes in the upcoming offseason if they’re ever going to live up to his vision of growing into a contender.
They lost 20-17 to the Browns on a last-minute field goal after leading by 10 at the start of the fourth quarter. Coach Matt Eberflus’ defense dominated some stretches, but had devastating lapses when it mattered most. The confounding combination of offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and quarterback Justin Fields continued to get the Bears nowhere.
