The Chicago Bears release head coach Matt Ebeflus following Thanksgiving Day disappointment

The Chicago Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus following a series of mental lapses in the team’s Thanksgiving Day loss to the Detroit Lions. Eberflus’ dismissal came after a meeting with team leadership, with General Manager Ryan Poles thanking him for his dedication and professionalism. The Bears lost 23-20 in a confusing finish where they squandered an opportunity to tie the game in the final seconds. Following Eberflus’ firing, offensive coordinator Thomas Brown was named interim head coach. The decision to part ways with Eberflus comes as the Bears aim to move in a different direction with their coaching leadership. The team left the field with an unspent timeout, which could have given them a chance to tie or win the game in the closing seconds. The situation is still developing, and updates will be provided as they become available. David K. Li reported this story, with contributions from Matthew Mata.
