The energy and messages of Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown seem to resonate more with veteran players than did the tone set by Matt Eberflus.

On his podcast "Intercepted with Kevin Byard," with guest running back D'Andre Swift, the pair discussed the multiple coaching changes that have occurred on the team this season. While Byard asked Swift about the change of offensive coordinator from Shane Waldron to Thomas Brown, the veteran safety discussed the firing of Eberflus.

Chicago Bears players were collectively discontented with the mistakes that plagued the team’s performances in a six-game losing streak.
