In four quarters in Foxboro, Matt Eberflus, the defensive-minded ball coach, showed why he just might be the perfect guy to help Justin Fields become the Justin Fields the Bears need.
The former is an easy fix. Entering Monday night, the Bears had called just 12 designed runs for Fields in six games. When you have a 6-foot-3, 230 pounds quarterback who runs a 4.4 40, it's borderline criminal not to use that skill set.
Once Fields started beating the Patriots with his legs, the changes the Bears' staff made to the passing game shined through. That Eberflus and his staff identified issues and were willing to make wholesale changes reveals something. They are not only capable of instituting changes but willing to admit they don't have all the answers. But they are willing to do the work to find them.That's important for any team, but especially a young roster led by a second-year quarterback.
Don't think it's lost on Eberflus that he and Fields need each other. He didn't draft Fields, but the best way for Eberflus to succeed in leading the Bears back to prominence is by finding ways to get Fields from ball of untapped potential to superstar.
