NFL Winners and Losers: Matt Eberflus' days as Bears coach have to be numbered after awful decision

At some point in the future, Chicago Bears fans will be able to laugh about Matt Eberflus, their old failed head coach, giving away a win against the Denver Broncos. Possibly they'll do so when Caleb Williams is their quarterback.

But on Sunday, it was infuriating. Eberflus acted like a coach who was trying to get himself fired.
