LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Speaking for the first time since the Chicago Bears fired Matt Eberflus amid a six-game losing streak, quarterback Caleb Williams portrayed a positive outlook on the effect that the changes he's experienced as a rookie will have on his career.
Eberflus was fired after a disastrous fourth-quarter sequence that saw the play clock run out on the Bears' attempt at a comeback in a 23-20 loss to the Lions on Thanksgiving. It was the Bears' fourth one-score loss since Week 8, which magnified coaching and game management decisions.
Eberflus became the first coach fired by the Bears during the season in the franchise's 105-year history.
