Chicago Bears could find working with interim coach Thomas Brown different than with Matt Eberflus
Associated PressLAKE FOREST, Ill. — Matt Eberflus’ firing by the Chicago Bears on Friday after the botched finish in a 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions only slightly impacts the team’s most important goal this season. Offensive coordinator Thomas Brown has been key in Williams’ improvement and now Brown is the interim head coach besides being the play caller. “Me and soft people sometimes don’t always see eye to eye, get along.” In the three games since Brown took over as offensive coordinator, Williams has completed 75 of 117 for 827 yards with five touchdowns, no interceptions and a passer rating of 99.2. What Brown needs to work on with Williams and the whole team is obvious after they’ve lost three heartbreakers to NFC North teams and had rallies come up short in each game. The veteran wide receiver’s five catches for 73 and two TDs upped his total since Brown took over play calling to 200 yards on 18 receptions.
