If Bears coach Matt Eberflus stays, he must get it right in crucial decisions on Justin Fields, Luke Getsy

Assuming the Bears keep coach Matt Eberflus, which hasn’t been finalized but there’s clearly momentum, he’ll be instrumental in making massive decisions about their future. Eberflus has talked openly about plans to confer with general manager Ryan Poles to assess the roster and coaching staff, so he obviously expects to stay.

The next biggest question marks are quarterback Justin Fields and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. And while Eberflus avoided saying where he stands on them for next season Monday, he didn’t sound fully convinced.

He loved Fields’ performance in the 37-17 win over the Falcons, when he threw for an efficient 268 yards, rushed for 45, had no turnovers and produced two touchdowns.
