Matt Eberflus, Chicago Bears Struggle In Blowout Loss
Chicago Bears suffer embarrassing defeat in season opener
The Chicago Bears' season got off to a disastrous start on Sunday, as they were blown out by the San Francisco 49ers 31-10 in their home opener.
Eberflus' debut a nightmare
Matt Eberflus, the Bears' new head coach, saw his debut end in disappointment. The team looked lost and disjointed, and was thoroughly outplayed by the 49ers.
Bears' offense struggles
The Bears' offense was particularly ineffective, managing just 10 points and 189 total yards. Quarterback Justin Fields was sacked four times and threw two interceptions.
Defense unable to contain 49ers
The Bears' defense was equally ineffective, allowing the 49ers to score 31 unanswered points. Deebo Samuel was the game's standout performer, catching eight passes for 117 yards and a touchdown.
Tough road ahead for Bears
The loss drops the Bears to 0-1 on the season. They will face a tough test next week when they travel to Green Bay to face the Packers.
Eberflus vows to improve
Eberflus said after the game that he was disappointed with the performance, but vowed to improve.
"We have to get better, that's the bottom line," Eberflus said. "We have a lot of work to do, but we will get better."
