Chicago Bears team captain refuses to defend head coach
The Chicago Bears suffered two straight losses in a rough road trip scheduled off the bye, including a 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. The Bears had a chance to gain some confidence against a 2-7 New England Patriots team on Sunday.
Instead, the Bears came out flat on offense, scoring just three points in 60 minutes in front of a crowd at Soldier Field that was booing by halftime and exiting the stadium by the middle of the fourth quarter.
Several team captains for the Bears have voiced criticisms of the coaching staff this season, specifically after the way head coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron mismanaged the team’s Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders.
Kevin Byard didn’t back up Matt Eberflus
On Monday, wide receiver DJ Moore gave a confusing answer about Eberflus’ standing in the Bears locker room, saying that he didn’t want to say the third-year head coach had lost the team. Following the Bears’ 19-3 loss to the New England Patriots at home, safety Kevin Byard was asked if the coaching staff had lost the locker room.
“I’m not going to go there,” Byard said of whether Eberflus’ staff lost the team, per video by Marquee Sports Network. “At the end of the day, we have to play better and we gotta win.”

Will the Chicago Bears make changes to the staff?
Byard, a team captain, made a strong choice not to defend Eberflus or the coaching staff in his comments to the media on Sunday. His choice of words, compounded with previous statements from other players on the team, is telling about how the locker room feels about the staff.
Eberflus said in his postgame press conference that every move was on the table for the Bears this week, including making a change at the offensive coordinator position. The Bears have scored 27 points in their last three games.
