During the first game on Thanksgiving day, the Detroit Lions won a nail-biter against the Chicago Bears 23-20. The game would end in heartbreak for Chicago, and much of the blame has fallen on head coach Matt Eberflus.
With seven seconds left, the Bears ran a play from the 41yard line with a deep shot and just four yards away from field goal range. It would fall incomplete, the clock hit triple zeros, and the game ended.
However, the Bears still had one timeout left, so many wondered why Eberflus called for a deep shot instead of just trying to get a few yards, then calling a timeout and going for the tie.
After the game, he was asked about the situation and completely tip-toed around the situation.
“Like I said, disappointing for the players. They put a lot of work in that short week. Put themselves in a position to win that game,” he said as the main message in his response.

Matt Eberflus Is Likely On His Way Out
This was just the latest in heartbreaking losses for the Bears, which might signal the end of Eberflus’s time in Chicago.
Of course, he’s been the head coach for 45 games with the team, and his record is 14-31. The Bears are currently 4-7 and have almost no chance of making the playoffs.
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.”
