The late-game clock mismanagement in a 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving proved to be the final straw for Matt Eberflus as head coach of the Chicago Bears.
The Bears fired Eberflus on Friday, while promoting offensive coordinator Thomas Brown to the interim role.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero first reported the firing.
Chicago has lost six straight games overall after starting the season 4-2. Each of the last three losses have come by a total of seven points and were decided on the final play of the game.
