Bears Seek Momentum Shift: Strategic Shift to Beating the Commanders
Achieving true momentum lets teams get past mistakes.
It can be a great deodorizer when there are small mistakes or even mistakes at the wrong times of games.
A team on a roll can always knows they’ve done it before, not long ago, and can fall back on those successful ways. Confidence comes with momentum.
The Bears had this roll going when they left London. They needed the schedule break to heal up, but better health comes at the expense of momentum in this case.
Momentum needs to be achieved all over again when they resume play in Washington Sunday and the venue makes it even tougher to accomplish.
Coach Matt Eberflus sees the right blend to quickly regain it.
“They trust each other, believe in each other, have faith in each other,” he said. “Just that. Guys are really working towards a common goal one week at a time and get the job done for that particular week. This week has been no different.
It’s a good way to start out when the goal is to win one in a row after the break to re-establish momentum. Then it would actually be four in a row.
