The Chicago Bears are getting more national attention than we have seen in years. It is like the franchise has returned to relevancy in the NFL. Around the NFL we see a lot of respect for what Poles & Eberflus have done here in a very short span of time in Chicago.
It's like the franchise that was considered one of the worst in the NFL, and irrelevant in the modern NFL, has now been transformed into a young ascending team. On a number of these national shows we hear about a renewed vibrancy that Eberflus, in particular, has brought to the franchise.

NFL broadcaster Kirk Herbstreit strongly commends Bears roster moves, Matt Eberflus
Herbstreit showed his excitement for the Bears on "The Pat McAfee Show"
... "Every time I kept thinking 'Are they gonna fire [Matt] Eberflus? Are they gonna fire him like every other franchise does?'" Herbstreit said. "And I got on a Zoom with him to get ready to call a game, and he just had authentic energy that I think his players really rallied around and believed in.
"And I thought initially it was maybe just kinda show, but as it went on, I saw how the team responded to him and I thought 'Man, this team I think really likes this guy.' And they're really responding to him."
It's true. The Bears won five of their last eight games and their last five home games of the season to finish the year strong. They also kept their last five opponents to an average of 16.8 points per game, which slotted in the top five defensive scoring ranks in that time frame.
That doesn't happen without Eberflus impressively spearheading the defense without the help of defensive coordinator Alan Williams, who resigned earlier in the season unexpectedly. Eberflus rallied a team that could've easily stayed down after being dismantled several times early in the season.
How far will the Bears get in 2024 with Eberflus' leadership and the roster overhaul? Stay tuned.
