Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus has an explanation for the clock management at the end of the team's 23-20 Thanksgiving Day loss to the Detroit Lions.
The Bears had an opportunity to tie or win the game in the final minute but blew through the final 34 seconds and only got a single incomplete pass-off. During his postgame press conference, Eberflus told reporters that the play was to snap the ball at 18 seconds, use a timeout and then kick a field goal.
He credited the team needing to work together more efficiently as the issue.
