Of the many questions asked of the Chicago Bears after they fired head coach Matt Eberflus following their Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions, one stood out above the rest: Why did they allow him to speak to the media on Friday morning?

The Chicago Bears have fired head coach Matt Eberflus after less than three seasons. He was 14-31 during his time in Chicago and had lost six straight games, most recently losing 23-20 on Thanksgiving to the Detroit Lions thanks to mismanaging the final drive.

Thomas Brown, who was recently appointed offensive coordinator after Eberflus fired Shane Waldron earlier this month, now takes over the head job as well. The decision follows – arguably – the worst defeat in Chicago's current six-game losing streak,
