Matt Eberflus and Justin Fields are living a mutual nightmare. Eberflus was a career assistant whose dream came true when he was named head coach of the Chicago Bears.

The Ohio State superstar was proclaimed the savior of the Bears. Field was sold as the first legit QB the Bears have had since Jim McMahon. Instead, Fields is flailing at his on-the-job training.
