The Detroit Lions offense played at about a C-minus level on the road in Houston. Yet Jared Goff and friends still managed to eke put 26 points and a road win over a top-10 defense.
Things aren’t going nearly as well in Chicago. The Bears have scored just two touchdowns in their last three games, all losses. Caleb Williams and the Bears offense haven’t found the end zone in the last two weeks, and that has led to a change.
The Bears fired first-year offensive coordinator Shane Waldron on Tuesday. No other changes were immediately made, but embattled head coach Matt Eberflus had hinted that others could be coming.
After evaluating our entire operation, I decided that it is in the best interest of our team to move in a different direction with the leadership of our offense,” Eberflus said via the Bears. “This decision was well-thought-out, one that was conducted deliberately and respectfully. I would like to thank Shane for his efforts and wish him the best moving forward.”
Waldron took over in Chicago in 2034 after being the OC in Seattle for three seasons under Pete Carroll. Waldron previously worked with Jared Goff in Los Angeles as the Rams passing game coordinator and QB coach.
Chicago ranks 24th in scoring and 30th in yards, though the Bears rank dead last in both in the three games since their bye week. The Bears are in the bottom five in yards per play, sacks allowed, YAC on receptions and third down conversion rate.
