It was a scene all too familiar to those who’ve been following the Chicago Bears this season. Thursday night at Soldier Field, the Bears dropped their 10th consecutive game in a 6–3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The team’s offensive struggles and prolonged slump once again drew a chorus of boos from frustrated fans, who also broke out “sell the team” chants that echoed through the stadium and onto Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football broadcast.
Fans Vent Their Frustrations
By the fourth quarter, Soldier Field was charged with palpable discontent. The Bears had mustered only three points, and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams was visibly stymied by Seattle’s defense.
As fans voiced their dissatisfaction, the microphones caught the intensity of the moment, giving the national audience a glimpse into the depth of frustration surrounding Chicago’s losing streak.
Williams’ Tough Night Under Center
Williams finished the game with 122 yards passing, completing 16 of 28 attempts, but also threw one costly interception. His final stat line underscored the Bears’ offensive woes—particularly given the team’s failure to find the end zone. Despite the harsh response from the home crowd, the rookie signal-caller maintained composure in the postgame presser.
“It’s my first year. Their frustrations go way longer back than I’ve been here,” Williams acknowledged. “My job is to go out there and win games, and we don’t focus on outside noise. Fans are going to cheer and maybe boo sometimes, and you can’t react to that. It’s not something that we react to. We have a job to do.”

A Chance to Steal the Game
While the Bears’ offense struggled most of the night, Williams did have an opportunity to silence the boos late in the fourth quarter. Trailing 6–3 with 37 seconds left, Chicago found itself at Seattle’s 40-yard line, just outside field-goal range.
Unfortunately, Williams threw three consecutive incompletions followed by a drive-killing interception on fourth down, effectively handing the victory to the Seahawks.
That final drive highlighted the disconnect between a team trying to snap a double-digit losing skid and a crowd desperate for signs of hope. Instead of a game-tying or game-winning march, fans witnessed another miscue-laden series that sealed the Bears’ fate.
A Silver Lining in the Draft Order
Though the loss further soured an already difficult season, it did move Chicago up in the 2025 NFL draft order, sliding from the No. 9 pick to No. 7.
For Bears supporters looking for any reason to remain optimistic, the higher draft position could potentially accelerate the rebuilding process—assuming the front office selects impact players who can help reverse the franchise’s fortunes.
Looking Ahead
As the Bears reach double-digit losses, the calls for substantial change—from coaching to upper management—grow louder.
Meanwhile, Williams continues to learn the intricacies of professional football under the most trying of circumstances. With the offense struggling to produce and the team mired in a deep losing streak, the rookie quarterback’s resilience will be tested repeatedly.
The question now is whether Chicago can find a way to end the season with some momentum. For fans who have turned to booing and chanting “sell the team,” it might take a lot more than a single victory to restore faith.
Nonetheless, the Bears’ final slate of games offers Williams a chance to show growth and instill some semblance of hope before the offseason—and the draft—arrive.
