Firing Eberflus mid-season won’t turn around a season that has gone awry for the Bears since their bye week, but it’s a move that most feel could come at any time. Thursday’s clock management gaffe is just the latest in a number of indictments that have built against Eberflus’ coaching acumen over the years, and will be remembered as one of his more infamous moments when he is inevitably let go by the team. Firing Eberflus in mid-season would be more about sending a message than giving the team a tactical advantage over the final five weeks of the season, it wouldn’t come as much of a surprise if he remained with the team until season’s end.

Love picked apart a normally stout Miami pass defense, logging his second-highest completion rate of the year and his second game without an interception. His other game without a pick was last week and he has taken just three sacks over his past five appearances including zero on Thanksgiving. Love has made a frustrating number of mistakes this year but is starting to turn the corner just in time for the playoff push. A date with Detroit’s ironclad defense next week will be a true test for Love and the young Green Bay offense. His performance against Miami should be enough for fantasy managers to keep him in their lineups for a potential shootout with the Lions.

Lamb dropped three passes in the contest; one of which on a play where he could have run forever if he made the catch. More concerning was that Lamb appeared to injure his shoulder in the second half, and didn’t play in the second half. The Cowboys didn’t provide an injury report, but fantasy managers will want to check and see what Lamb’s status is for Week 14 against the Bengals on Monday night.

Not only was this Dowdle’s first game over the century mark, it was the first time in 26 contests that any Dallas runner has reached that club. He saw some open lanes, but 80 of the yards were created after contact, and most if not all the credit goes to Dowdle. No other Cowboys’ runner had more than three carries, so calling him the top option in this rushing attack is quite the understatement. Dowdle will try and keep it up in Week 14 against the Bengals on Monday.

Purdy has gotten in back-to-back limited practices after missing Week 12’s blowout loss to the Packers. The 24-year-old signal-caller is considered questionable for the Sunday Night Football tilt against the Bills, but it seems more very plausible that he’ll be able to return after his one-game absence. Friday will be big for him and those chances.

The 16 targets Moore saw on Thursday set a new career high. Chicago’s WR1 entered halftime with just two receptions for seven yards but turned things on in the second half as the Bears attempted to mount a comeback. Moore came up big for the Bears late in the fourth quarter when he burnt past his defender and found himself on the receiving end of a beautifully thrown from Caleb Williams. Moore would haul in the pass for a 31-yard score to cut the Lions’ lead to 23-20, and caught another pass for 25 yards on the team’s final drive while looking to tie the game and/or take the lead. In three games with Thomas Brown under center, Moore has caught 22-of-30 targets for 265 yards and two touchdowns. He should make for a solid WR2 in Week 14’s game against the 49ers.

Allen was instrumental in the Bears’ second-half comeback. After being bottled up for much of the first half, Allen broke free in the secondary on several occasions, with his biggest play coming on a 31-yard touchdown to kick off the second half. Allen would put his sharp route running on display down near the goal line when he shook cornerback Amik Robertson to haul in a nine-yard score. Allen left the game briefly with an ankle injury but had it taped up and returned to finish out the day. He was seen limping a few times, but remained on the field to make a handful of key plays late. Assuming he’s good to go in Week 14, he’ll be a fringe WR2/WR3 against the 49ers.

Lawrence was able to get limited practices in Wednesday and Thursday with his shoulder issue. He’s questionable for Sunday’s Week 13 tilt against the Texans, and managers will hope to see a full participation for Friday’s practice. Even if he is limited in that session, however, there’s a chance Lawrence could play.

It would’ve been an abysmal day for LaPorta and his fantasy managers if it had not been for his two touchdowns. LaPorta found the end zone on a three-yard touchdown early in the second quarter and was on the receiving end of a one-yard score late in the third quarter. LaPorta has seen six targets in each of his last three games, but the production just hasn’t been there for the promising young tight end as of late. The two touchdowns were nice, but hopefully LaPorta can do a bit more with his volume in Week 14 against the Packers, where he feels like a boom-or-bust TE1.

Williams and the Bears had an embarrassing showing in the first half. Offensively, they managed just 53 total yards as a team and trailed 16-0 at halftime. They turned a corner in the second half, however, which started with Williams leading the team on a 74-yard touchdown drive that ended with a 31-yard touchdown pass to Keenan Allen. While the Bears defense kept the Lions at bay, Williams and the offense mounted a comeback that included two fourth quarter touchdowns to Keenan Allen and D.J. Moore. A miraculous comeback appeared to be in the works late in the game after Williams got the Bears down to the Lions’ 25 yard line with under a minute to go. Unfortunately, a sack, followed by the worst clock management we’ve seen in decades, resulted in the clock drying up with the Bears still holding a timeout. Williams made several impressive plays in this one, but a poor first-half had the Bears in comeback mode and proved ultimately proved to be too much to overcome. Under new offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, Williams has thrown for 827-5-0. He’ll rank as a solid QB2 in Week 14 against the 49ers.
