The Chicago Bears were stunned by the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon when they failed to defend a Hail Mary at the end of regulation. They are now 4–3 instead of 5–2 and have to sit with one of the worst losses of the season, knowing full well it could come into play as they fight for a playoff spot in the very competitive NFC.
There's not much positive to latch onto when something like that happens. But the Bears did put together a nice second-half comeback—and how often does a team get a chance to exploit less-than-stellar Hail Mary defense in a season anyway? Plus, if that was some of the worst coaching we've seen in the NFL in years, the odds of even worse coaching coming from Matt Eberflus's group is pretty slim.
