Mired in chaos off the field and winless on it, the Bears visit Washington hoping to spring an upset

Associated Press  

Ron Rivera understands what the Chicago Bears are going through. “When you lose, we’ve lost a couple games here this year, for me, everybody has frustrations,” said Matt Eberflus, who has lost more than a couple of games — 18 of 21 games actually — since taking over as Chicago’s coach. “We’ve got a lot of games in front of us that are, for sure, winnable,” second-year receiver Jahan Dotson said. “The more games that we play collectively as an offensive unit, the better we’ll be,” Howell said. “The more we get more comfortable with calling the game and just everybody, — the whole process, players, coaches, everybody included — the more we can do that together, the better we’ll be.” MORE PRESSURE The Bears doubled their sack total last week, though that’s hardly a point of pride for them.
