The Chicago Bears lost their fourth consecutive game on Sunday, this time by way of a blocked field goal attempt as time expired against the Green Bay Packers. Any team on a four-game losing streak will be heavily scrutinized but head coach Matt Eberflus has fallen under a particularly harsh microscope for what the Bears did in the lead-up to the final play.
While kicker Cairo Santos ultimately attempted a 46-yard field goal, Chicago had a prime opportunity to get him closer. The offense had the ball with 35 seconds left and one timeout, while the Packers had no timeouts. Yet they didn't make much of an effort to gain any yards, to the surprise of even the Packers' players, and went for the 46-yarder.
