Assuming the Bears keep coach Matt Eberflus — which hasn’t been finalized, but there’s clearly momentum — he’ll be instrumental in making massive decisions about their future. Eberflus has talked openly about plans to confer with general manager Ryan Poles to assess the roster and coaching staff, so he obviously expects to stay.
The next biggest question marks are quarterback Justin Fields and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. And while Eberflus on Monday avoided saying where he stands on them for next season, he didn’t sound fully convinced.
He loved Fields’ performance in the 37-17 victory over the Falcons on Sunday, when he threw for an efficient 268 yards, rushed for 45, had no turnovers and produced two touchdowns. He also had a 25-yard run negated by penalty, and rookie wide receiver Tyler Scott dropped a beautiful throw that would’ve been a 33-yard touchdown pass.
