It’s rare for the sports-media world to universally agree on anything. So props to former Bears coach Matt Eberflus for bringing everyone together.
His inaction in the final half-minute of the Bears’ loss to the Lions on Thanksgiving Day drew criticism from announcers, analysts, talk-show hosts and former coaches and players. Eberflus’ failure to use his last timeout to stop the clock with a chance to at least tie the score cost him his job.
The incomparable finish will go down in Bears history, and it led to some fantastic broadcasting.
