3 things that stood out to Matt Eberflus in Week 4 win

(2) The Bears closed both halves by playing complementary football.

After the defense forced the Rams to settle for a 43-yard field goal attempt that Joshua Karty missed with 1:01 left in the first half, Swift’s 27-yard gain on a screen pass set up Cairo Santos’ 40-yard field goal with :09 to play.

Late in the second half, Tory Taylor’s booming 66-yard punt bounced out of bounds at the Rams’ 8. On the next play, Jaquan Brisker intercepted a Matthew Stafford pass, clinching the Bears’ win with :56 remaining.

“I was proud of the guys in the way they came together at the end of the half and also the end of the game in terms of complementary football,” Eberflus said. “As we know, these games come down to a few plays, and we made the plays necessary to win the game in situations in the fourth quarter. I was proud of the guys that way.”

Closing out a game like the Bears did Sunday no doubt will increase their confidence level moving forward.

“You can feel that in the locker room,” Eberflus said. “Guys are really believing in each other and believing in themselves and believing in our football team. When you have a performance like that at the very end to be able to pull that out like that, it’s good. It’s like the first week (in a 24-17 win over the Titans). The first week, we were down, being able to come back and do that, so it’s just about being consistent in our practice, in our preparation, and then in-game.”
