History has been made, as the Chicago Bears on Friday fired head coach Matt Eberflus with five games remaining in the regular season.
The firing of Eberflus marks the first time in Bears’ franchise history that the team has parted ways with a head coach during the season
The firing of Eberflus marks the first time in Bears’ franchise history that the team has parted ways with a head coach during the season, and marks the end to one of the most controversial tenures in the history of the organization. Eberflus’ record in one-score games dropped to 5-19 during his tenure in Chicago, with his mark the worst in NFL history among coaches with at least 20 one-score games in their careers.
Eberflus was unable to match that success, winning just three games in his first season and seven in his second. All the while, Eberflus faced mounting criticism for his late-game decision-making. His choice not to call a timeout prior to the Commanders’ Hail Mary win, the cautious approach to setting up a 47-yard field goal for Cairo Santos against the Packers, and the team’s overtime struggles against the Vikings set the stage for Thursday’s blow-up, which saw the Bears cough up a chance at a victory in incredible fashion.
