There are still a lot of questions about Bears coach Matt Eberflus, but there’s no doubt he’s a masterful defensive play caller. It’s how he rose to this level, and him unexpectedly taking on that role has made a big difference for the Bears.
Eberflus’ overarching responsibility, however, hasn’t changed since the Bears hired him. It won’t be enough to orchestrate an overwhelming defense if quarterback Caleb Williams isn’t making significant progress and the team isn’t stacking victories.
