Chicago Bears suffer another devastating defeat as team fails to utilize final timeout.

The Chicago Bears continued their season of suffering with a close loss to the Detroit Lions, with questionable decisions made in the final moments of the game. Trailing by three points with less than a minute left, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams took a game-ending sack after failing to find an open receiver. Despite having a timeout, the Bears did not use it and attempted to run another play to set up a potential game-tying field goal. However, the team was slow in getting back to the line of scrimmage and the clock expired before they could run another play. Head coach Matt Eberflus took responsibility for the decision, acknowledging that he had hoped to run one more play before calling a timeout but ultimately let the clock run out. Eberflus’ poor game management has been criticized, with his low win percentage in close games highlighting the team’s struggles. Former NFL players and analysts voiced their frustration on social media, with many calling the coaching decisions unacceptable and likening the Bears’ season to a horror movie. The loss dropped the Bears to a 4-8 record, while the Lions improved to 11-1, the best in the NFL. Former NFL QB Matt Ryan criticized Eberflus for panicking in critical situations, emphasizing the importance of staying composed as a head coach.
