The second-year corner is rightfully being criticized, but his gaffe was only one problem for a team that wasn’t ready to meet the moment Sunday.
When the NFL released its all-22 footage of Sunday’s game between the Washington Commanders and the Chicago Bears,appeared even more jaw-dropping. The 2023 second-round pick did not turn away from the crowd until all of the Commanders’ receivers were at the 30-yard line. He did not break toward those receivers or move from a vacant far corner of the field until all of the Commanders’ receivers were at the 15-yard line.
Expectations for the Bears’ head coaching job ballooned quickly. Matt Eberflus, long believed to be one of the smartest defensive minds in football, was allowed to grow with this roster and iron out some of his own quirks until the moment that Caleb Williams’s name was called at the start of the 2024 draft.
So, was the moment too big for him? Or, are we simply overreacting to a game that had a lot of social media low-hanging fruit attached to it? This, to me, is worth examining far closer thanAfter rewatching the game, we can certainly nitpick Eberflus as a defensive play-caller though we could do this with just about any coach in a game that didn’t result in a complete blowout.
These issues all seemed to converge on the final moments of the Washington game in staccato-like fashion.• Eberflus failed to use his timeout before the game’s final play. While it’s impossible to correlate a timeout with getting everyone in a better place mentally, there’s a chance Stevenson would not have been as adrift.
