The Chicago Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus last week following the franchise's Thanksgiving Day clock management debacle that cost the the team a chance to tie the game against the Detroit Lions in the waning seconds of regulation.

Johnson wasn’t ready to say the Bears’ mistakes — from the ‘‘Fail Mary’’ against the Commanders to a blocked field goal against the Packers to the loss to the Lions — automatically would improve because they have a new man in charge for the next five games.

Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson shared what he told Matt Eberflus in the locker room after the Lions loss on Thanksgiving.
