NEW ORLEANS — When Matt Eberflus looks at his team, he doesn’t see what you see.
He thinks the Bears are close.
Close to what? Beating a .500 team on the road? That’s the best the Bears could say after Sunday’s 24-17 loss to the Saints at the Caesars Superdome.
Don’t confuse the 2-7 Bears playing entertaining football — the game was decidedly not the root canal that fans have come to expect on Sundays — with the team being close to a breakthrough.
