Ending of the Bears-Lions Thanksgiving game falls on the shoulder of Matt Eberflus but there's still major learning moments for Caleb Williams

The final play of the Chicago Bears' matchup against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving was an absolute embarrassment and fitting for how the Bears' season has gone leading up to that moment.

Once again, the execution failed the team and led to a sixth consecutive loss. And that's a lack of execution from everyone involved, coaches and players.

Of course the bulk of the blame falls on the shoulders of head coach Matt Eberflus, who took accountability for the final sequence after the game. But, there's still some major learning moments from those final seconds for rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.

First of all, a quarterback should, in theory, be able to call his own timeout in that situation. But, I can see why that decision wasn't made by Williams. After hearing from Eberflus after the game, the Bears had a clear plan in place with how they wanted to use the final timeout, and Williams isn't in the position to alter that plan.

"In that situation, I'm living with the call," Williams said after the loss. "I'll let the coaches and everybody make that decision, depending whether it's on time or whether it's the guys running back and they're far down the field. Whatever that situation is, that's going to be coach's call. Maybe in my later years of my career, but right now, I get the call and I'm trying to lead the guys to win."
