Analysis: Losing streaks like the Bears have can drag down a coach and staff but there are examples of coaches losing more in succession than Matt Eberflus and keeping a job.

A critical fourth-down play went awry because Eberflus failed to communicate and manage the sideline and the game itself.

The Chicago Bears have been falling apart in recent weeks, and that continued in Week 12, as they suffered a crushing 30-27 loss at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings. However, it was the second straight week where the Bears put together a truly competitive outing, and it led to a strong message from head coach Matt Eberflus afterwards.
