On Friday morning, the Chicago Bears announced that they would be moving on from Matt Eberflus and naming their offensive coordinator Thomas Brown as the interim head coach.
Of course, this firing is a direct result of Chicago’s poor 4-8 start to the season, Eberflus’s Thanksgiving blunder, and poor clock management, which cost his team the chance to beat the Lions.
Immediately after the game, his poor decisions as a coach were criticized, while fans and major analysts all agreed the Bears needed to make a change.
However, during a press conference just hours before his firing, Eberflus was confident in keeping his position.
Matt Eberflus, two hours ago, asked about his job security:
“I’m confident that I’ll be working onto San Francisco and getting ready for that game.”

Of course, it was still believed that the Bears would keep Eberflus until the end of the season because it is rare for the organization to fire a head coach midseason.
With Eberflus’s firing, it’s the first time it’s ever happened, despite some poor coaches making their way through Chicago.
However, it shows that the Bears are no longer willing to settle for mediocre performances, even if it means leaving their comfort zone.
There Was Almost No Bright Spot Of The Matt Eberflus Era
Eberflus ended his coaching tenure with Chicago after two and a half years with little to show.
In 2022, his first season, he led them to a 3-14 record. However, by his second year, there were some promising signs after they improved to 7-10 and looked like they could be playoff contenders with a revamped offense.
It just wasn’t the case, though. Now, after going 4-8 in 2024, his record in Chicago will sit at 14-32, with not much love from fans on his way out.
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.”
