Video: DJ Moore 'Wants' to Say Bears HC Matt Eberflus Hasn't Lost the Locker Room

Timothy RappNov 4, 2024

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus has come under fire during the Chicago Bears' two-game losing streak, but it doesn't appear as though his players are abandoning ship just yet.

"I want to say no," wide receiver D.J. Moore said on the 670 The Score when asked if the head coach has lost the locker room. "The message yesterday was that we know we're 4-4 now, just like being 0-0. But you've just got to go out there and start stacking wins like we did, and that's the best thing you can do is win, and then let the chips fall how they fall after we do so."

You could break Chicago's season into three distinct parts.

The first was a 1-2 start, as the offense sputtered early on. That wasn't completely unexpected, given the Bears were starting Caleb Williams, though there were enough weapons around him that expectations had been high coming into the season.

The Bears then rattled off three straight wins, exceeding 35 points in two of them, and suddenly Chicago was feeling like a potential playoff team.

Then came the latest two-game losing streak, and it's been a painful one—the team lost to the Washington Commanders on a final-play Hail Mary, with Eberflus catching heat for how the team defended the play and final Washington drive.

And on Sunday, the Bears were smoked by the Arizona Cardinals 29-9, and Eberflus was again questioned for his decision-making, notably keeping Williams in the game late despite the contest being decided. Williams suffered an ankle injury in the final moments, though it appears it wasn't serious.

"We're just getting work," Eberflus told reporters about keeping his rookie quarterback in the game. "Getting work and getting timing, getting timing in the two-minute operation. That's what we're doing."

"It's not my decision. You fight to the end of the game if you're in the game," Williams added of remaining in the contest. "If not, that's coach's decision. We'll figure out the next steps, but not my decision."

As for the season moving forward, the Bears have a very winnable matchup next week against the 2-7 New England Patriots before the schedule becomes very tough, with games against the Green Bay Packers (twice), Minnesota Vikings (twice), Detroit Lions (twice), San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks remaining.

We will find out just how good this Bears team is during that stretch, which likely will decide Eberflus' future as well.
