NFL Trade Rumors
Bears QB Caleb Williams had a positive outlook following the loss to the Rams and told reporters he is excited for what lies ahead in the future for Chicago. He also hopes to work on both his footwork and accuracy this offseason.
“In these moments, you feel like you let your team down,” Williams told Courtney Cronin. “It’s a good lesson for us; first time being in this situation for me and for us as a team. I’m excited for what’s to come. We’re going to be here for a little bit. I’m excited about it. I’m excited about the growth. I’m excited about being able to go back and watch this. I’m excited to being able to get back, and next year being able to learn more than I did this year, keep growing, and us as a team and an organization to be able to keep growing.”
“We had a hell of a year,” Bears S Kevin Byard noted. “Nobody beginning of the season picked us to be where we were at. To be in the position to still almost win the game at the end, it just didn’t work out for us this year, but just super proud of the group. We have no reason to hang our heads. We don’t believe in moral victories, but at the same time, this is a special group and the culture has been set, and [we] expect to have success in the future.”
“When you have a season like this, when you have so much fun throughout the season, when you win so many games, you can’t let all that go to waste … after one season-ending loss,” CB Jaylon Johnson added. “We’ve had a hell of a ride, and each man individually has had a hell of a ride. We can really be thankful and have a lot of gratitude for what this season has done and how we’ve grown as men and grown as a team.”
“I know he’s feeling it because we didn’t win and had some turnovers mixed in there, and he’s feeling it,” HC Ben Johnson said of Williams. “But he’s one of those guys I’m talking about that will remember this feeling, and he’s going to be stronger for it.”
