A pair of head coaches under the microscope lead the Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars to London on Sunday.
Matt Eberflus has had some question whether or not he was the right man to usher in the Caleb Williams era after a pair of lackluster seasons in Chicago with Justin Fields. So far, it’s been a mixed bag in 2024, but Williams has shown plenty of flashes to keep the heat off the head coach.
What’s boosting Eberflus is the coach’s defensive background, which has transformed the Bears defensive unit into one of the more ferocious defensive squads in football.
That will present a difficult challenge for the Jaguars, who have had difficult sledding on the offensive side of the ball under Doug Pederson’s watch this season. Trevor Lawrence has drawn some criticism for not quite living up to his new, gaudy contract, but maybe more has gone to the head coach, who hasn’t been able to pull the Jags out of the muck and mire just yet.
All that adds up to a much more intriguing London matchup than their respective records indicate. Here’s how to watch the Week 6 showdown:
