WESTFIELD, Ind. — Skirmishes in practice are inevitable, especially in joint practices when there’s no undercurrent of unity to keep things from going too far. But rarely does the temperature rise to the point that the head coach has to get involved like the Bears’ Matt Eberflus and the Colts’ Shane Steichen did early in practice Thursday.
Just as it did the day before, a special teams drill led to arguments between the teams, but this time it mushroomed into a crowd of 50 or so players and interrupted the work. Eberflus sprinted right into the center to break it up.
