Matt Eberflus gives extremely shortsighted reasoning for why he left Caleb Williams on field in blowout loss to Cardinals

Once again the Chicago Bears are ending their week with an embarrassing road loss and there's a lot of blame to go around.

However, the finger needs to be pointed directly at the coaching staff after some of the decisions that were made on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

The worst decision was made at the end of the game.

With the Bears down 20 points, head coach Matt Eberflus opted to keep his starters on the field on both sides of the ball, including rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. After the loss, the reasoning why makes the decision even more inexcusable.

"We're just getting work and getting timing on a two minute operation," Eberflus explained. "That's what we're doing. The defense was out there too."

That's an extremely shortsighted explanation from the team's head coach. This isn't the preseason. In a blowout loss like that with no chance of a comeback, you have to remove your starters from the game, especially your rookie quarterback to avoid any injuries, and the Bears dodged a major bullet.

Toward the end of regulation, Williams nearly suffered an ankle injury and had to limp off the field as time expired after the final play.

"I landed wrong and just kind of tweaked it on the last play," Williams said after the game. "The dude grabbed my ankle, gator rolled and I tried to get off of it, because when you stay on it, that's when bad stuff starts to happen and breaks and all of that. So tried to just let my body go so I could fall and roll with him."
