PHOENIX — The worst is over for Bears coach Matt Eberflus, and while he would forcefully reject this categorization, his real work starts now.
He’s had more than a year to sketch a vision of the team’s future with general manager Ryan Poles, and after an offseason in which they were loaded with the most salary-cap space in the NFL, Eberflus helped craft a legitimate roster. He spent all of last season impossibly holding a stripped-down team to his rigorous standards.
