Tom Brady lashes out at Dallas defense, putting Eberflus in the spotlight after the humiliating defeat

Tom Brady tears into the Cowboys defense and praises Caleb Williams cleverness. Week 3 of the NFL brought an unexpected surprise. The Chicago Bears, with a 0-2 record, earned their first win of the season by defeating the Dallas Cowboys 31-14.

However, the headlines weren’t just about Dallas loss, but also Tom Brady explosive comments about the defense led by Matt Eberflus.

Tom Brady slams Dallas defense and applauds Caleb Williams clever play

The legendary quarterback didn’t hold back. Watching the Bears rack up 385 total yards, including 298 passing yards, Brady was blunt:

“There aren’t enough players in the run game, and certainly no coverage. Another receiver completely open. Matt Eberflus is just looking for answers. He’s not running well, not covering well, he doesn’t know how to defend.”

These words not only highlight Dallas vulnerabilities but also expose the challenges the defense faces against fast and precise offenses.

“OH. MY. GOD!”

Caleb Williams and the offensive arsenal that left Dallas helpless

Second-year quarterback Caleb Williams delivered a memorable performance. He completed 19 of 29 passes for 298 yards, four touchdowns, and a passer rating of 142.6, adding 12 rushing yards on five carries.

His ability to read the defense and execute deceptive plays left the Cowboys bewildered, showing that his connection with Chicago receiving corps is far from accidental.

Tom Brady acknowledged the Bears offensive quality but didn’t shy away from pointing out Dallas defensive disaster.

Every gap left by the secondary and every open receiver highlighted a system that fails under critical pressure.

The combination of insufficient pressure, poor coverage, and individual mistakes exposed the Texas team’s fragility against a well-coordinated attack.

Masterful plays that dismantled the “Lone Star”

Beyond the stats, one play stood out: a 65-yard pass from Williams to rookie Luther Burden III.

Tom Brady was impressed: “Here’s Burden up top, he separates from the ball, and as soon as you feel the safety settling, you go. Practically flat-footed. He pulls everyone to the safety. A seven-yard route to the corner of the end zone.”
