The Bears are headed back to the sight of one of their most epic meltdowns when they return to Ford Field on Sunday to face the Lions. And for them, that’s really saying something.
Last season began unraveling with the Fail Mary against the Commanders, but it truly and fully imploded on Thanksgiving in Detroit. That nightmare was the end for former coach Matt Eberflus and the beginning of an overhaul that included plucking Ben Johnson from the Lions’ staff.
Johnson was on the sideline as the Lions’ offensive coordinator when Eberflus let the clock run out while still holding a timeout and having the ball, thus squandering the Bears’ chance at a comeback.
