Bears' Eberflus: 'I feel the support' from team brass despite winless streak
Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus says he feels the front office still has his back despite the team's long losing streak.
The Bears have dropped 14 games in a row dating back to last season, with their last win coming on Oct. 24, 2022. It's been a challenging start to the campaign for Chicago, which has included an 0-4 record and the resignation of former defensive coordinator Alan Williams. However, Eberflus says he's only concerned with the upcoming Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
"I feel the support," Eberflus said Wednesday, according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin. "I haven't talked to anybody about any of those things. I feel the support, and we're just focused on Washington."
The Bears looked to be on the cusp of their first victory last Sunday after taking a 28-7 lead over the Denver Broncos, only to surrender 24 unanswered points and fall to 0-4.
Eberflus says he's confident that the result was still a step in the right direction, as Chicago put up a season high in points and yards.
"I think I've stated it many times that we have a bunch of new guys here, and bringing them together is a big piece of it," the Bears coach added. "We're in the process of that. I certainly feel that we took a big step in the right direction last week. We got to take another big step this week."
Hired in 2022, Eberflus has only won three of the 21 games he's coached in Chicago.
