The Chicago Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus following an embarrassing Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions that extended a brutal six-game losing streak that was the defining moment of his abysmal three-year tenure.

Eberflus spent just seven total weeks above .500 during that time and slowly, but surely, alienated his players following heartbreaking losses that kept piling up. General manager Ryan Poles and team president Kevin Warren had seen enough and decided they couldn't go on like this without a coaching change.
