Bears Lose to Packers Amidst Coaching Turmoil

The Chicago Bears suffered a heartbreaking 20-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers, highlighted by a blocked 46-yard field goal attempt by Cairo Santos as time expired. Head coach Matt Eberflus faced criticism for his game management, particularly his decision not to advance the ball before the final kick, opting instead to let the clock run down. This loss extends a pattern of close defeats for the Bears, leading to fan frustration and calls for Eberflus's dismissal. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams displayed leadership by apologizing to his team after the firing of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, which reportedly impressed his teammates. The Bears' offense showed better rhythm with new coordinator Thomas Brown, but the loss underscores ongoing struggles this season. Looking ahead, the Bears face challenging games against divisional leaders Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.
