Eberflus was non-committal Monday when asked if the Bears would continue to platoon Teven Jenkins at left guard
The Chicago Bears (1-4) hadn't won since Week 7 at New England last season. They've been engulfed by drama in recent weeks, with defensive coordinator Alan Williams' resigning, Fields suggesting he was being overcoached while also blaming himself for his struggles and receiver Chase Claypool being banished.
Music blared from the Chicago Bears locker room after a victory for the first time in almost a year, and players danced and jumped around with joy. Fields and Moore connected eight times for 230 yards and three touchdowns to give the embattled Bears their first win of the season, beating the Washington Commanders 40-20 Thursday night, hours after word emerged of the death of franchise great Dick Butkus. “We just needed a win, get the mojo going in our favor,” Moore said.
The Bears finally did just about everything well in Thursday’s win over the Commanders.
