How Matt Eberflus Found One Last Way To Sabotage The Bears

The Chicago Bears went 11-6 this year. By any stretch of the imagination, that is a massive success after what happened in 2024. Matt Eberflus is gone. The Ben Johnson era has arrived. It’s a new dawn. However, it’s hard to wash the stink out of a team from the previous regime that quickly. While Eberflus’ direct influence might be gone, the sting of his decisions still lingers. That has been particularly true with the Bears defense. People talk about Eberflus’ coaching. They don’t talk about the influence he had on its construction.
