The Latest Breaking News from Matt Eberflus

He could help his case to stay if he gets the Bears to 8-9, but there’s no margin for additional embarrassment.

The Bears have one of the league’s best run games. Quarterback Justin Fields is responsible for a lot of that success, though; among only running backs, the Bears rank 15th in yards per carry.

The Bears are 22nd in scoring this season, and quarterback Justin Fields hasn’t thrived under Getsy.

The Bears have another injury to their defensive line.

The NFL's most fireable coaches after Week 15 include some big names.

Murray was a hit as the No. 1 overall pick in 2019 — rookie of the year, two Pro Bowls and a playoff berth in his first three seasons. But two years later — after signing Murray to a five-year, $230.5 million contract — the Cards are 3-11 and 7-24…

The Bears have prided themselves on their resilience through tough times, including bad losses to the Broncos and Lions this season. After Sunday’s 20-17 loss to the Browns — which all but crushed their playoff hopes — they’ll have to dig even deeper.

Eberflus joked last week he’d compensate for the injury to edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue thusly: “blitz every snap.” He didn’t do that Sunday, but he did blitz on the most important play of the 20-17 loss.

GM Ryan Poles won’t be using the Browns game as a reason to give Fields a contract extension. It seems unlikely he gives Fields an extension at all. The Bears offense — with plays called by Luke Getsy, quarterbacked by Fields and overseen by coach Matt Eberflus — isn’t working.
