The Chicago Bears pancaked the New England Patriots in the national spotlight on Monday Night Football, 33-14.
The win moved the franchise back to the undisputed first-place spot in all-time franchise wins (786 – one more than the Packers) and stopped Bill Belichick from passing up George Halas in all-time coaching wins.
For that, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is proud of head coach Matt Eberflus.

Eberflus was with the Cowboys from 2011-2017. He served as the team's linebackers coach from 2011-16 before taking over as passing game coordinator for the remainder of his time in Dallas.
He held the defensive coordinator post with the Indianapolis Colts for four seasons after that, before becoming the Bears' head coach this past offseason.
Coaching was a large factor in the Bears dismantling the Patriots on Monday night.

Curran: Unanswered questions abound after baffling loss to Bears
The offense put up a season-high 33 points thanks to the team's offensive scheme, which included moving Justin Fields out of the pocket, dominating the run game and creating easy, quick plays for Fields to complete.
The defense stunned the Patriots too. They kept Belichick's team to 14 points and forced four total turnovers. The Patriots were able to create just 70 yards on the ground.
So, Jones was right to credit Eberflus for the victory. Jones likely also enjoyed seeing the Bears defeat the Patriots and team owner Robert Kraft, whom Jones reportedly had a "heated exchange" with at the NFL owners' meetings last week.
