Don’t Get Towed, Worst Bears Losses, and November News Quiz
A day after the Bears' baffling loss to the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, the team fired head coach Matt Eberflus. This is the first time in franchise history the organization has dismissed a head coach during the season. Executive producer Simone Alicea and host Jacoby Cochran discuss this unsurprising midseason move and rank the team's losses during the Bears' ongoing six-game losing streak. Plus, a bright spot in the city's overnight parking ban, a cold weather forecast, and WTTW’s November news quiz.
