The Chicago Bears have made a significant change in their coaching staff, firing offensive coordinator Shane Waldron after just nine games. This decision comes as the team struggles with a three-game losing streak, ranking 30th in total offense and failing to score a touchdown in consecutive games for the first time since 2004.

Thomas Brown has been promoted to replace Waldron, with head coach Matt Eberflus emphasizing the need for a new direction in the offense. Despite an offseason overhaul, including the drafting of Caleb Williams and acquiring key players like Keenan Allen, the Bears' offense has not performed as expected.
