NFL CBS analyst and former quarterback Matt Ryan destroyed Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus over his inexcusable botch that cost his team the game against the Detroit Lions on Thursday.
Chicago was trailing 23-20 with less than a minute to go, needing just a field goal to force overtime. Caleb Williams took a sack at the Detroit 41 with just 32 seconds remaining, but Matt Eberflus had one timeout in his back pocket.
For some reason, Eberflus decided not to use his final timeout. Williams and the Bears offense failed to get set and bled valuable time off the clock, forcing Williams to attempt a last-second Hail Mary that fell incomplete.
After the game, Ryan destroyed Matt Eberflus for his coaching malpractice that dropped Chicago to 4-8 on the season:
“This is unacceptable from the head coach position. Your responsibility is to not panic in critical situations. To put your team in the best opportunity to win games. That’s a massive, massive fail by Matt Eberflus.”
No matter how Eberflus tries to justify it, there’s no excuse for this. If your offense is clearly disorganized and confused, you call the timeout and give them a chance to win.
Matt Eberflus Should Be Let Go ASAP
It’s not a matter of “if” the Bears will fire Matt Eberflus, but when they’ll announce it. If it’s not after this week, it’s gotta be in the next couple of weeks.
He’s had three years at the helm, and the Bears haven’t shown any signs of progress under his belt despite a stellar rookie year from Williams. Today’s loss, coupled with that Hail Mary defeat in Washington a few weeks back, are clear-as-day evidence that he’s not qualified to be a head coach.
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
