Bears Lose Sixth Straight to Lions

The Chicago Bears suffered their sixth consecutive loss on Thanksgiving Day, falling 23-20 to the Detroit Lions in a heartbreaking finish. With just 32 seconds left in the game, quarterback Caleb Williams was sacked, leaving the Bears with one timeout and a need to move quickly from the Lions' 41-yard line. Despite this, head coach Matt Eberflus opted against using the timeout, leading to confusion and ultimately an incomplete pass as time expired, with the last opportunity wasted. Critics, including analysts and former players, lambasted Eberflus for his decision-making and clock management, labeling it as coaching malpractice. This loss continues a troubling trend for the Bears under Eberflus, who has a poor record in close games, highlighting ongoing issues with situational football. The team also faced injury setbacks during the game, further complicating their struggles this season.
