The Chicago Bears are reportedly considering benching rookie quarterback Caleb Williams as the team struggles through a three-game losing streak. Discussions have taken place about this move to provide Williams with a break and protect his development.
Williams has faced challenges this season, throwing for 1,785 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions while being sacked an NFL-high 38 times. The Bears' offense ranks poorly in several categories, prompting the firing of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.
Despite the turmoil, Williams feels supported by his teammates, who have expressed their backing amid calls for backup Tyson Bagent to start. The Bears face a tough schedule ahead, with several playoff-contending teams, raising the stakes for the team's performance moving forward.
