Bears' Matt Eberflus Clarifies Caleb Williams's Status as Starter After Ugly Loss

The Chicago Bears suffered another horrendous defeat on Sunday, this time losing 19-3 to the New England Patriots at Soldier Field. The team's offense, which looked like it was clicking under Caleb Williams a few weeks ago, had its second consecutive disastrous outing and the young quarterback took an absolute beating. Williams was sacked nine times against the Pats and consequentially was able to complete only 53% of his passes for a grand total of 120 yards.

While the Bears are still fine record-wise sitting at 4-5 on the season, it's clear they cannot continue as is. Something has to change and that something has to be on offense; Chicago hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 8.
