Matt Eberflus could be running out of time in Chicago after botching a timeout: Analysis

Associated Press  

On Football analyzes the biggest topics in the NFL from week to week. ___ Matt Eberflus could be running out of time in Chicago after botching a timeout while a national audience watched on Thanksgiving. Eberflus should’ve used Chicago’s final timeout with 32 seconds left to give Williams and the offense an opportunity to reset after the sack. “Our hope was, because it was third going into fourth, that we would re-rack that play at 18 seconds, throw it inbounds, get it in field-goal range and then call a timeout,” Eberflus said. It just didn’t work out.” Eberflus should’ve had two timeouts entering that sequence but he had to waste one after Williams threw an incomplete pass on first down that stopped the clock with 43 seconds left.
