The Chicago Bears knew they needed to make changes on offense after a frustrating 2023 season. Too often the unit fell flat in the second half, unable to build on strong starts. For once, the team didn’t pin the blame on one person. Quarterback Justin Fields was traded to Pittsburgh, and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy was fired. Head coach Matt Eberflus wanted a fresh start with new perspectives. He wanted somebody who could get the offense into a rhythm more regularly and elevate the quarterback position.
