Analysis: The Bears have a long-term issue to answer in who coaches the team in the future but against the 49ers there are three immediate issues to resolve in Thomas Brown's debut.
As much as the Bears might like to think the purging of Matt Eberflus allows them to play differently and better, it doesn't work this way.
In fact, they have never won a Sunday afternoon road game since Matt Eberflus took over as coach. The last one was under Matt Nagy on Dec. 26, 2021 when Nick Foles led their comeback in a 25-24 win at Seattle.Of course, this doesn't include who the next coach will be since they won't settle that until the offseason.
They were first in run defense last year and they're now 25th. They were sixth in pass defense after beating Jacksonville and now have declined to 11th. They were as high as fourth in points allowed but have dropped to a tie for ninth.Now Eric Washington is in charge of the defense, their third defensive coordinator in two seasons. Alan Williams was doing it and resigned amid a human resource department investigation at Halas Hall last year.
