Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams isn’t prepared to take full responsibility for the enduring frustrations of the fans.
During the Bears’ 6-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, fans at Soldier Field broke out into boos and “Sell that team” chants. The low-scoring loss marked the team’s 10th straight loss.
When asked about the fans’ reaction after the game, Williams pointed out to reporters that their frustrations go beyond his time in Chicago.

“It’s my first year. Their frustrations go way longer back than I’ve been here,” Williams, who was the first overall pick in last year’s draft, said.
“My job is to go out there and win games. We don’t focus on the outside noise. The fans, they’re gonna cheer and maybe boo sometimes, and you can’t react to that. It’s not something that we react to.”
The Bears’ offense struggled in their latest loss.
Williams was 16 for 28 with 122 yards, and the Bears finished with just 179 total offensive yards. For that, the rookie quarterback did take ownership.
“I didn’t play well enough. I didn’t help put the team in a good position to win – a better position to win, and it’s what it is.”
The Bears will close out the season on the road against the Green Bay Packers next week.
