Bears coach Matt Eberflus and his staff are taking their lumps after the Bears disappointing performance in a 21-16 loss to the Colts on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. And Eberflus was accountable for his role in it.

Eberflus acknowledged “we didn’t get the look we wanted” on offensive coordinator Shane Waldron’s ill-fated option play on fourth-and-goal from the Colts’ 1-yard line, with running back D’Andre Swift losing 12 yards.

Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams could have changed the play at the line of scrimmage or called time out, but did neither in his third NFL game.
