The Chicago Bears improbably lost another game on the final play Sunday, as Cairo Santos's go-ahead field goal attempt was blocked by the Green Bay Packers. The 20-19 loss drops Chicago to 4-6 on the year and has brought head coach Matt Eberflus under heavy fire for his late-game decision-making. Again.

Fast forwarding to Sunday afternoon, Eberflus could be on the same path. The Bears showed promise after five of their final eight games to finish last season with a 7-10 record and were able to select Caleb Williams with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft, acquired in a trade with the Carolina Panthers for the first pick in the 2023 draft.

There have been no real highs to the Eberflus “era.” We’re at the stage where everything he says is just kindling for the fire. Or firing.
