The first time there was an NFL betting scandal this offseason, Bears coach Matt Eberflus raced to address it with his team. The day after five Lions and one Commander were suspended for violating the NFL’s sports gambling rules in April, Eberflus reminded his team of the league policy.
In the wake of another controversy this week — Colts cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, who is under league investigation for violating the policy, said on social media Monday that he took “full responsibility” for his actions — Eberflus has reinforcements coming. As part of their leaguewide tour, NFL representatives will stop at Halas Hall next week to give a mandatory presentation about the league’s gambling rules. Their message: Just don’t bet.
