Bears Keep Matt Eberflus
Right Move? Yes.
NFL teams aren’t always known for competent decision-making. However, it appears teams might be learning.
While retaining Matt Eberflus isn’t the perfect move, it’s hard to deny that he’s earned another season with how he led the Bears’ defensive turnaround midway through the season.
Eberflus took over before the halfway point, but it’s interesting to look at the differences between Weeks 1-9 and 10-18. Chicago ranked 30th in defensive EPA in the first half of the season, yet they were third in the back half of the year.

It will be fascinating to see if the decision to keep Eberflus means there is a more significant chance that the Bears retain Justin Fields. It’s much simpler for a new coaching staff to move on from players from a previous regime.
Is there a world where Luke Getsy and Fields combine for a legitimate top-10 offense? Because if there is, it would take significant growth from each along with the addition of a Marvin Harrison Jr. type in the 2024 NFL Draft.
