Bears coach Matt Eberflus says there will be “changes” on offense after recent struggles

The Chicago Bears haven’t scored a touchdown in two weeks and have lost three straight games, and while head coach Matt Eberflus says changes are being considered, he won’t announce them yet.

During his press conference Monday at Halas Hall, Eberflus said the team will make “changes and adjustments” but said the team is still weighing those options.

“There needs to be a change and an adjustment,” he said. “There’s also the sight that we’re 4-5, we haven’t played our division yet. We are currently in the process of conducting this assessment. There will be changes and adjustments.”

One of those changes could very well be their offensive play-calling duties, as Eberflus changed course from his concrete stance to the status of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. After the team’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Eberflus said that Waldron would still call the plays, but after scoring just three points against the New England Patriots, Eberflus did not give a vote of confidence this week.

“We’re going through the process right now,” he said when asked if Waldron would be on the team this week. “All of these adjustments and changes and things that we’re going to do, we’re still in the evaluation phase.”

Eberflus also said that the decision regarding Waldron’s future rests with him and that he communicates with general manager Ryan Poles about issues related to the team.

Eberflus was also asked if the team had discussed a change at quarterback, as Caleb Williams has struggled greatly since the team’s bye week and was sacked nine times in Sunday’s loss to New England.

“Caleb is our starter,” Eberflus said.

The Bears’ offense has been under the microscope since their bye week, as they have scored just one touchdown in their last three games and none in their last two. According to ESPN, this is the first time in 20 years that the Bears have gone without an offensive touchdown in consecutive games. The team is now 4-5 and faces a home showdown with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Williams has nine touchdown passes and five interceptions in nine games this season. He hasn’t thrown a touchdown in the team’s last three games after scoring four scores against Jacksonville in Week 6, and Sunday was another tough effort as he completed 16 of 30 passes for 120 yards. He’s also been sacked 15 times in the last two games and has only rushed for 20 total yards.
