Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson expressed his frustration with the team's ongoing struggles, emphasizing a lack of optimism despite their recent close games. The Bears, now 4-7 and last in the NFC North, have lost five straight, including a heartbreaking overtime defeat to the Minnesota Vikings.

Coaching decisions have faced scrutiny, particularly after the firing of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. Quarterback Caleb Williams has shown improvement, throwing for 340 yards in the latest game, but field goal protection remains a significant issue, with multiple attempts blocked this season.
