Chicago Bears suffer a heartbreaking defeat as they neglect to use final timeout

The Chicago Bears suffered another close loss to the Detroit Lions, with poor clock management contributing to their defeat.

Head coach Matt Eberflus admitted to mistakes in postgame comments, with his poor record in close games under scrutiny. Social media reactions criticized the Bears’ decision-making, with many labeling it as coaching malpractice. The loss continued a pattern of heartbreaking defeats in the Bears’ 2024 season, including a Hail Mary loss and two blocked game-tying field goals. Former NFL QB Matt Ryan criticized Eberflus for panicking in critical situations. The Bears’ season has been characterized by brutal losses, leaving fans frustrated and disappointed.
