Bears head coach Matt Eberflus entered Monday night on at three-game losing streak.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Bears’ last trip to 1 Patriot Place for a regular-season game was the beginning of the end for Marc Trestman. Eight years ago Wednesday, his Bears lost 51-23 when Tom Brady threw five touchdowns and Bears edge rusher Lamarr Houston tore his ACL thrusting his crotch to celebrate a sack down 25.

The Bears’ second-year head coach vowed to make changes during the bye week— and lost the next game to the rival Packers by 41 points.
