Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions may have walked away victorious, but it was more a matter of the Chicago Bears beating themselves. Matt Eberflus infamously mismanaged the clock in a 23-20 defeat, costing himself his job as head coach of the Bears. That familiar pattern could play a factor in Caleb Williams's development.
We all know it by now. Chicago had more than enough time to try and score. Instead, the Bears wasted what could have ended up being four or five plays and walked away with a timeout in their back pocket. Instead of settling into a rhythm on offense, Williams will have to learn a new playbook from interim head coach Thomas Brown.
We've seen this play out before. The Bears' coaching changes negatively impacted Justin Fields's development, and he never developed into the franchise quarterback they wanted him to be. Don't be surprised if the Bears' nosedive continues toward the end of the campaign.
