Bears head coach Matt Eberflus has already earned a reputation for being conservative. Look no further than the fact that, until Sunday, Chicago had only gone for it on fourth down once through four games.
Well, Eberflus shook that reputation up with some bold decisions, which included that fourth-down attempt — a successful Justin Fields scramble — against the Vikings. But his boldest move was his decision to attempt an onside kick after the Bears had just cut the deficit to 21-16 early in the third quarter.
