Matt Eberflus will need a lot more than three consecutive wins against three of the NFL’s worst teams to solidify the credibility he’s sought ever since the Bears hired him as a first-time head coach in 2022.

It’s a respite from the steady stream of criticism and doubt, and while it’s a very low bar, this is by far the best the Bears have been positioned since his arrival. The streak is the longest of his tenure, they’re 4-2 and quarterback Caleb Williams is pointed the right direction.
