Matt Eberflus steadies Bears against lightweight opponents, but now he has to keep it going

With the Bears over .500 and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams on the upswing, there’s rare peace and quiet at Halas Hall. And if coach Matt Eberflus is at the center of every storm they encounter, he gets credit when everything is calm, too.

Eberflus was on notice yet again just two weeks ago after a feeble performance in a loss to the lowly Colts, and that cost of that defeat will lurk in the standings all season. Imagine the Bears rallying toward playoff contention and missing out by one game.
