What’s the latest with the Chicago Bears?
The Bears suffered an embarrassing 19-3 loss to the New England Patriots, which marked their third straight loss since the bye week. The Bears offense scored a season-low three points against one of the worst defenses in the league, allowed nine sacks to a pass rush that had 16 sacks through eight total games and were held to just 142 total yards. Chicago’s defense did its part, holding New England under 20 points, but this game was lost in the first quarter with an offense that has mustered just 27 points and two touchdowns in the last three games.
Here’s a look at the most recent and relevant Bears stories for the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 12:
Matt Eberflus: Bears ‘in the process’ of potential play-calling changes
When asked by hosts David Kaplan and Jonathan Hood if the team is considering changing play callers on offense, Eberflus said the team is still evaluating their options. “So we’re in the middle of that process right now,” Eberflus said. “We’re looking at adjustments and changes throughout the whole situation.”
Are the Bears benching Caleb Williams? The latest on Chicago’s offense
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, appearing on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday, speculated the Bears could make changes on offense, including opting to bench Williams after his dreadful outing. Williams completed just 16-of-30 passes for 120 yards and was sacked nine times. “I would expect that there will be some sort of change in Chicago on the offensive side of the football,” Schefter said. “Is that changing the playcaller? Is that changing the quarterback and benching Caleb Williams for Tyson Bagent? I think all of these things are being discussed in the building today.”
