The Chicago Bears faced yet another disappointing loss, falling 6-3 to the Seattle Seahawks, which extended their losing streak to ten games. Fans were vocal in their frustration, chanting for the team to be sold as the Bears' playoff hopes have dwindled throughout the season, which has seen them struggle to a 4-12 record. The team's final game of the season will be against their long-standing rivals, the Green Bay Packers, on January 5.
Quarterback Caleb Williams attempted to maintain focus on the field, insisting that he and the team do not pay attention to the external criticism. Under general manager Ryan Poles, the Bears have a dismal record of 14-36 over three seasons, which includes two separate double-digit losing streaks. Their current slide follows the firing of former coach Matt Eberflus, with interim coach Thomas Brown unable to turn the team's fortunes around, leading to an 0-4 record under his leadership.
While the Bears' defense showed improvement, allowing only six points against Seattle, the offensive line remains a significant issue. Williams was sacked seven times during the game, increasing his season total to a franchise-record 67. The offensive struggles were evident as the team could only convert 5 of 15 third downs, contributing to their second-worst conversion rate in the league. The Bears now face the daunting task of breaking their 11-game losing streak against the Packers, a rivalry that has seen them suffer from a significant lack of success in recent years.
