Bears head coach Matt Eberflus isn’t ruling out major changes to his offense after putting up just three points in Chicago’s Week 10 loss to the Patriots.
“We’ll look at everything,” said Eberflus, per Marquee Sports Network’s Scott Bair, including taking play-calling duties away from offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.
The Bears entered Week 10 with the fewest total yards (2,357) and fourth-fewest yards per play (4.6) in the NFL, though their 21.5 points per game ranked 19th. The offense looked even worse against the Patriots, averaging 2.4 yards per play, allowing nine sacks, and converting one of 14 third downs. No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams completed 16 of 30 passes for just 120 yards, while D’Andre Swift only managed 59 yards on 16 carries.
Waldron insisted that he would not make any changes just to keep the support of the locker room and showed confidence in his personnel.
“I do believe in those guys. They have faith in us,” said Eberflus, per Bair. “And it’s working together. I believe in our football team. I believe in the leaders on our football team. And we’ll just have to get back to work.”
The Bears host the 6-3 Packers next week in their next opportunity to get their offense back on track. Green Bay ranks just outside the top 10 in points per game, yards per game, and yards per play allowed, giving Chicago a stiff but not unconquerable challenge in Week 11.
