Eberflus is looking for back-to-back wins for the first time in his career.

The questions about Bears coach Matt Eberflus’ job haven’t stopped. They’ve only paused.

Given the turbulence throughout the 0-4 start, beating the Commanders and getting a break from that heat was no small feat. But one win against a bad team doesn’t negate what happened in the first four games.

Eberflus is still 4-18, the defense is still suspect and quarterback Justin Fields still has to show these last two games truly signal a new trajectory. All the skepticism will engulf the Bears again if they can’t beat the 1-4 Vikings on Sunday.
