The contrast between the reaction of Chicago Bears players and head coach Matt Eberflus after the team's stunning Hail Mary loss to the Washington Commanders couldn't be more stark.

While Eberflus gutlessly blames his players for the defeat before later offering up a nonsense explanation of his Hail Mary strategy, superstar cornerback Jaylon Johnson elected to take the high road instead of throwing one of his teammates under the bus.

Now, in a very general fashion, star tight end Cole Kmet claims the Bears were lazy all week in preparation for the Commanders, and the disorganized Hail Mary loss was their reward.

That's not a great sign for Matt Eberflus:

Kmet can say these are little things that guys just have to take personal responsibility for. That's his prerogative. However, the fact of the matter is that if a team is losing its focus and edge on a supposedly grand scale, that is a coaching issue. That falls squarely on Eberflus and his staff for allowing a culture of complacency to settle in after the Bears' recent three-game winning streak.
