After the Chicago Bears’ stunning loss to the Washington Commanders, thanks to Jayden Daniels’ heroic Hail Mary, you would’ve thought Matt Eberflus might actually take responsibility for his poor late-game coaching decisions.
You would’ve been dead wrong.
To start his postgame press conference, Eberflus discussed the wild final play that led to the Bears’ third loss of 2024. Rather than say he failed to put his players in an optimal position to succeed — a cookie-cutter comment that doesn’t really mean anything but is expected of any leader — Eberflus chalked up the Bears’ failure to … poor execution on the part of his players.
I’m all for holding dudes accountable. But that’s not the time nor the place. You absolutely have to fall on the sword there if you’re Eberflus:

It’s just a terrible look for an ostensible leader of some of the best athletes in the world.
