Chicago Bears: Matt Eberflus sacked as head coach after sixth straight defeat in NFL
The Chicago Bears have sacked head coach Matt Eberflus after suffering a sixth straight defeat.
The Bears lost 23-10 to the Detroit Lions on Thursday, marking a third consecutive NFL defeat decided on the final play.

“I thank Matt for his hard work, professionalism and dedication to our organisation,” general manager Ryan Poles said., external
“We extend our gratitude for his commitment to the Chicago Bears and wish him and his family the best moving forward.”
Offensive coordinator Thomas Brown will serve as interim head coach.
Chicago – who drafted quarterback Caleb Williams with the number one pick in April – are bottom of the NFC North table with four wins and eight defeats.
