The Chicago Bears are gearing up for a new era with first-time head coach Ben Johnson following a disastrous 5-12 season that resulted in Matt Eberflus' firing after Thanksgiving.
After a promising 4-2 start, Eberflus sealed his fate in a Week 8 game agains the Washington Commanders that resulted in a gut-wrenching Hail Mary loss. To make matters worse, Eberflus publicly defended his decision to not call a timeout in the final two plays that led to the 18-15 loss. And according to quarterback Caleb Williams, it didn't sit well among those in the locker room.
