The Dallas Cowboys’ DC Matt Eberflus will face his former team at the end of the weekend.
Dallas will play at Soldier Field against the Bears, and Matt spent most of the past 3 seasons as the manager in Chicago. Eberflus was dismissed after a Thanksgiving defeat against Detroit in November that saw Chicago’s comeback attempt fail because of bad clock management.
Matt was 14-32 as head coach of the Bears, so his sacking was not welcomed negatively by the fans of the organization. Today, he shared that he hasn’t thought about the fans’ reactions in Chicago when he returns as part of the Cowboys, and also added that his only focus is the future, not what happened before.
“I will not do anything different in my preparation for the upcoming match vs. the Bears,” admitted the current defensive coordinator of Dallas. In this profession, there are always tough moments and periods. You are always angry when you are defeated, because you invest so much in finding a way to win. However, no matter the result, the sun comes up after that, and you move on, while growing and learning,” added Eberflus.
