The Bears' Kick: A Coach's Confidence

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus stood tall despite a heartbreaking loss to the Green Bay Packers. The game ended with a blocked field goal attempt by Cairo Santos, giving Green Bay a 20-19 win. Coach Eberflus defended the team's decision to go for the long field goal instead of running another play. "We felt confident about the kick, " he said, noting the wind conditions and the field position. The playcall underscored the priorities of the coaching staff: minimizing risk and taking calculated chances. This loss extends the Bears' losing streak to four games, sparking questions about Eberflus's future. The team's offense showed improvement, but the final outcome left a bitter taste. The pressure is mounting for Eberflus, as the season's end nears and the team's performance remains inconsistent.
