Caleb Williams entered the 2024 season with sky-high expectations, some even predicting a Super Bowl run. However, the reality is far different. The Bears currently sit at the bottom of their division, having not tasted victory since October 13th.
A Grim Outlook for the Bears
The recent losses have fueled criticism from analysts, with some questioning Williams’ ability to lead the team. ESPN commentator Louis Riddick even went so far as to suggest that the Bears might not win another game this season. While such a prediction may seem extreme, the Bears’ remaining schedule offers little room for optimism.

Riddick, during an appearance on ESPN’s “Get Up,” questioned where the Bears’ next win would come from, citing their struggles in close games and questionable game management. He highlighted the team’s repeated failures in crucial moments as a key factor contributing to their losing streak.
The Bears’ Challenging Schedule Ahead
The Bears’ remaining opponents include formidable teams like the Detroit Lions (twice), San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings (twice), Seattle Seahawks, and Green Bay Packers. Notably, none of these teams currently have a losing record, posing a significant hurdle for the struggling Bears. Each remaining game presents a tough challenge, demanding peak performance from Williams and his teammates.
Can the Bears Overcome Adversity?
Despite the bleak outlook, the season isn’t over yet. There’s always a chance for an upset, perhaps sparked by an unexpected injury to an opposing quarterback or a sudden surge in performance from the Bears. The possibility of a surprise victory, fueled by unforeseen circumstances or a sudden shift in momentum, remains.
The Bears face a challenging road ahead. To secure a win, they’ll need to overcome their weaknesses, capitalize on any opportunities, and hope for a bit of luck. Whether Williams can lead them to victory remains to be seen. Will the Bears defy the odds and find a way to win, or will the 2024 season end in a disappointing winless streak? Only time will tell.
