Matt Eberflus

Justin Fields and the 2023 Bears have been an abject disaster through three games. But despite all the evidence to the contrary, Matt Eberflus believes a breakthrough is coming — at this point, believe is all they have.

The Bears are going to be doing a lot of searching this week. Searching for healthy players in the secondary after Jaylon Johnson, Tyrique Stevenson and Josh Blackwell left the Chiefs game early and joined Eddie Jackson and Kyler Gordon as the walking wounded. Searching for continuity on the offensive line as Braxton Jones’ neck injury forced the team to…

The Bears endured one of the most chaotic weeks in their history. On Wednesday, it kicked off with Justin Fields making — what some interpreted to be — controversial comments about the coaching staff. He mentioned his struggle playing freely, saying he plays “robotic” when the coaches feed him an overload of information. The comments were wildly misconstrued by some,…

Alan Williams’ prolonged absence from the Bears and eventual resignation has been one of the most curious stories to come out of Halas Hall in recent memory. The general lack of clarity and brief responses from the team leading up to and directly following the resignation fueled some suggestive rumors and have had social media detectives busy for days. On…

After hearing Justin Fields’ full comments on the offense, Matt Eberflus checked in to make sure his quarterback and offensive coordinator are in a good place and on the same page.

A lot went down at Halas Hall on Wednesday. Like a season’s worth of headlines in a matter of hours. There was so much news, and it all came so quickly, that it was tough to keep track of everything that went down. Now that we’ve had some time to process everything– and the Bears have had a chance...

After nearly a week away from the team, Alan Williams resigned as Bears defensive coordinator on Wednesday. In a statement, Williams said he needed to step away from the game to focus on his health and his family. Once he addresses his health, Williams plans to coach again. In the interim, head coach Matt Eberflus will call plays on defense…

Sept. 20 was a bizarre day at Halas Hall. From the quarterback distancing himself from the staff to Alan Williams resigning, the twists and turns will end up being the lede of the 2023 Bears’ obituary — no matter how the season ends.

Justin Fields knows he played “robotic” vs. the Bucs. The reason? A coaching staff that’s giving him too much information and forcing him to play not like himself. He plans to change that.

The Bears lost in disappointing fashion again in Week 2, but unlike Week 1 a win was there for the taking. On the second play of the game, Jaquan Brisker put himself in perfect position for an interception– and possibly a pick-six– but he let the ball pass harmlessly through his hands. The Buccaneers eventually scored a field goal on…

The screen pass that ended the Bears’ comeback hopes vs. the Bucs had good and bad, according to Matt Eberflus’ day-after autopsy.

Matt Eberflus will take over as the Bears defensive coordinator, in addition to performing his regular head coaching duties, when the team takes on the Buccaneers this Sunday. Eberflus announced on Friday that usual defensive coordinator Alan Williams will not travel with the team to Tampa due to a personal reason. The challenge for Eberflus will be balancing game management…

Over the course of the Bears’ blowout 38-20 loss to the Packers on Sunday, there were plenty of disappointing moments for fans to moan about. New star wide receiver DJ Moore only touched the ball twice. The defense couldn’t get off the field on third or fourth down. Justin Fields had a ho-hum day instead of looking like the...

Justin Fields wasn’t the reason the Bears got steamrolled by the Packers on Sunday, but it’s fair to want more from the franchise QB. The Bears do.

Tyson Bagent defied the odds by entering training camp as an undrafted free agent from D-II Shepherd University and leaving with a job on the 53-man roster. He earned his spot by noticeably improving throughout the summer at practice and putting together an impressive preseason campaign. But don’t pencil in Bagent as the Bears QB2 just yet. On Thursday,...

Other than Teven Jenkins, the Bears believe all of their injured players will be ready to play Week 1.

The most engaging moment of the first quarter of the Bears’ preseason finale had nothing to do with Justin Fields and the offense, Yannick Ngakoue and the defense, or anything that happened on the field. It was a surprisingly timed report from Jeremy Fowler that the Bears had given Trevis Gipson permission to seek out a trade. After the game…

After days and days of injuries piling up for the Bears in the latter stages of training camp, the team finally started moving in the right direction on Thursday. The Bears finished practice on Wednesday with 21 players standing on the sidelines, not participating in drills. One day later that number was down to 16, with several big name guys…

We may have seen the last of Justin Fields in the preseason. On Tuesday, Bears head coach Matt Eberflus shared an update on the team’s plans for their exhibition finale. He said the team will determine whether or not starters play not only on an individual basis based on how much each guy has accomplished in practice and based...

After another rough day for day for the Bears’ offense, head coach Matt Eberflus kept it frank about the unit’s “A to Z” issues and how they can fix them.
