## Rookie QB Caleb Williams on Bears’ Eight-Game Losing Streak: ‘It’s Been Frustrating and Encouraging’
**Chicago, IL** – The Chicago Bears’ rookie quarterback, Caleb Williams, has spoken out about the team’s eight-game losing streak, acknowledging the frustration but also finding reasons for encouragement.
### Frustration and Disappointment
“It’s been tough, no doubt about it,” Williams said. “We’ve had some tough breaks and made some mistakes, but we’re not giving up.”
The Bears have struggled mightily this season, starting 3-1 but losing their last eight games. The offense has been particularly inept, ranking near the bottom of the league in most statistical categories.
Williams, who was taken with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has shown flashes of brilliance but has also been inconsistent. He has thrown for 1,785 yards, nine touchdowns, and eight interceptions.
### Encouraging Signs
Despite the losing streak, Williams believes there are signs of progress.
“We’re starting to gel as a unit,” he said. “The offensive line is improving, the receivers are making plays, and we’re starting to find our rhythm.”
Williams pointed to the Bears’ performance in their Week 11 loss to the New York Giants as an example. Chicago trailed 27-0 at halftime but rallied to make it a one-score game in the fourth quarter.
“That showed me that we have the heart and the talent to compete with anyone,” Williams said. “We just need to put it all together.”
### Looking Ahead
The Bears have four games remaining in the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Williams knows that the team’s playoff hopes are slim, but he is determined to finish the season strong.
“We’re not going to give up on this season,” he said. “We’re going to fight for every win and learn from every loss. We’re going to come back next year stronger than ever.”
### Coach Eberflus’ Perspective
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus echoed Williams’ sentiments, expressing both frustration and optimism.
“We’re not happy with where we are right now, but we see the progress that Caleb and the rest of the team are making,” Eberflus said. “We’re going to stay the course and keep working hard. We believe that the future is bright for this team.”
### Conclusion
The Chicago Bears are facing a difficult stretch, but rookie quarterback Caleb Williams remains upbeat. He sees signs of progress and believes that the team can turn things around in the future. The Bears will have an opportunity to prove themselves in their remaining four games, starting with a tough test against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
