The Latest: Bears boot Fox after 3 straight in last place

The latest on NFL coaching firings (All times EST): noon The Chicago Bears have fired coach John Fox after a third consecutive year of double-digit losses and last-place finishes. Fox, who came to Chicago from Denver, where he won four straight AFC West titles, finished 14-34 with the Bears and never won more than six games in any of his three seasons. He is still 133-123 over a career that also included time with the Carolina Panthers. But Fox's .292 winning percentage will go down as the second worst in the history of the Bears. ___ 9:45 a.m. The Detroit Lions have fired coach Jim Caldwell, who finished the season with a 9-7 record but missed the playoffs for the second time in three years. Caldwell went 36-28 in four seasons with the Lions. He joins Chuck Pagano of Indianapolis and Jack Del Rio of Oakland, each fired after their games Sunday. Other teams that could be making changes today include Arizona, Cincinnati, Chicago and Denver. ___ More AP NFL: https://pro32.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL
