What’s the latest with the Chicago Bears?
The Bears suffered a brutal 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, which marked their second straight loss and their fourth road loss of the season. The offense failed to score a touchdown with quarterback Caleb Williams under consistent duress while the defense let Arizona not only move the ball all over them but find the end zone on several occasions. The Bears were outplayed, outcoached and lacked discipline while being unprepared for this game after a week of distractions.
Here’s a look at the most recent and relevant Bears stories for the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 5:
Bears vs. Cardinals: Good, bad and ugly of Chicago's Week 9 loss
Eberflus has once again shown that maybe he isn’t the guy for the Chicago Bears. After last week’s coaching malpractice, Eberflus admitted that he called a bad play with the first half running down that allowed Demercado to run for a 53 yard touchdown with 12 seconds left in the half. We can’t be 100% sure of the state of the locker room, but I’m sure it isn’t the best after some interesting calls and responses from Eberflus over the last two weeks. Eberflus’ seat is getting hotter by the day.
Has Matt Eberflus lost the Bears locker room? DJ Moore weighs in

One prominent Bears player doesn't think so, but his answer wasn't exactly convincing.
NFL trade deadline: Bears players who could be on the way out
With the Bears sitting at 4-4 with the trade deadline on deck, it's unclear whether they'll be buyers or sellers. There are definitely needs along the offensive line, and they look to acquire an interior lineman. But there are also some players on the roster who don't seem to have a role and could be dealt at the deadline.
