The Bears dealt with their six-game losing streak in a way they’ve never done so before — by firing their head coach in the middle of the season.
Matt Ebrerflus was fired Friday, one day after a 23-20 loss to the Lions at Ford Field in which the coach failed to call a timeout as the clock expired and his team had the ball. He had a 14-32 record in three years with the Bears, the third-worst winning percentage in franchise history behind only Abe Gibron and John Fox.
