Amidst swirling rumors that foretold Matt Eberflus’ impending doom, the Chicago Bears shook their fist at destiny and blew out the Washington Commanders on the road. Given that the Bears were 5.5 point underdogs, it’s safe to say that no one expected this result — but this morning? I’m much happier for it all the same. Who doesn’t love a win?
The Bears’ big Thursday Night victory brings up a series of questions the team will look to answer over their next few weeks:
- Where has this level of play been all season?
- Now that he’s decidedly not-fired, how long is Matt Eberflus’ leash for the rest of the year?
