The Chicago Bears suffered a brutal 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, and it was once again completely preventable if they had a competent head coach.
While Chicago trailed 16-0 at halftime, the offense came to life under rookie quarterback Caleb Williams in the second half. They outscored Detroit 20-7 in the second half, which included three touchdown drives from Williams — two passes to Keenan Allen and one to DJ Moore.
While the talk of the game should be Williams’ impressive second half and how he once again led a comeback (that ended in a loss), it’s all about head coach Matt Eberflus and his clock mismanagement that led to a loss. Williams took a sack with 30 seconds left. But instead of using their final timeout to save time to boot a field goal or get closer for an attempt, Eberflus let the clock tick down to spoil a potential comeback bid.
As you can imagine, Eberflus’ coaching future is in jeopardy. The Bears have never fired a head coach midseason, but this very well might finally break that curse. Nothing like getting embarrassed on national television when you should’ve won.
