First-year head coaches are 8-22 on Thursday night since the start of 2016. But Matt Eberflus has a specific plan to have the Bears primed and ready to face the Commanders on a short week.
Since 2015, first-year head coaches are an abysmal 11-31 on Thursday night football. Three of those wins came against another first-year coach, though. If you throw those out the mark is 8-31.
That's bad news for the Bears. But Eberflus, ever-prepared, has a plan to get the Bears ready to get back in the win column against the Washington Commanders at Soldier Field. "I’ve been around quite some time, and I would say that the best way to do it is to make sure the players are fresh," Eberflus said Monday."Make sure they’re fresh. Do a lot of walk-throughs. We will do that, so we’ll have a walk-through today. We’ll have a walk-through the next day [Tuesday], and then we’ll have a practice that last day, the day before the game. It’ll be a quick, red zone-type practice with helmets on. And then it’s a lot of mental work.
