ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith immediately questioned Matt Eberflus's future with the Chicago Bears after he mismanaged the clock at the end of the Bears' last-second loss to the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving.
After Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams was sacked at the Lions' 41-yard line—pushing the Bears just outside of their likely field goal range—Eberflus didn't call the one timeout he had in his pocket. As the clock dwindled, Williams snapped the ball with seven seconds left and threw a deep ball which fell incomplete and ended the game while Chicago had the one timeout remaining.
