The Latest Breaking News from Matt Eberflus

The Bears' latest blown fourth-quarter lead is a reminder that Matt Eberflus isn't the guy. We discuss on The Bears Wire Podcast.

NFL games come down to gotta-have-it situations. Fields and the Bears have been the worst in the league at them.

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.

The Bears' gut-wrenching loss to the Browns is the latest in a series of franchise and league worsts for Matt Eberflus' team.

He said he was too aggressive.

Those three are the core of the team, and that’s what sunk the Bears in Cleveland.
