Eberflus opening up on Damage Control
After an uncomfortable loss to the Commanders, Justin shared his frustrations at a press conference. Matt Eberflus has since said that Justin is in a "good spot".
Eberflus met with Fields to discuss what's next for their next bout with the Patriots.
«I just said that, �Hey, I know we all have frustrations, but really just reset. Reset your mind. Have your eyes going forward,' » Eberflus said Friday at a news conference at Halas Hall. «�Look forward to how we're going to improve and how we're going to get better.' Because he did a lot of good things last night.»
The physical rest certainly will be good for Fields after he took a beating from a formidable Commanders defensive front that totaled 12 quarterback hits and five sacks. Fields said after the game that he aggravated a previous left shoulder injury. Eberflus said Fields was still sore Friday but added, «He'll be OK.»
Fields said repeatedly he was frustrated by the Bears' inability to finish.
Eberflus understood Fields' sentiments following the third straight loss by eight or fewer points and said that's why he continues to stress the 24-hour rule for moving on from games.
«This game you have to play with passion,» Eberflus said. «You have to play with emotion. You have to do that to play it the right way. And you have to put yourself out there, and every time you play this game, a piece of you is left on the football field. It's just the way it is.»
