The Chicago Bears have officially fired head coach Matt Eberflus following a disappointing 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. This decision comes after a six-game losing streak that saw the team struggle in close games. Offensive coordinator Thomas Brown has been named interim head coach for the remainder of the season.

Eberflus, who had a record of 14-32 during his tenure, was unable to lead the Bears to the playoffs since his hiring after the 2021 season. The team had high hopes for the future, especially after selecting quarterback Caleb Williams as the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, but his development has been underwhelming. The Bears will now seek a new head coach to guide their talented roster.
