The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Chicago Bears 6-3 on Thursday Night Football, and fans at Soldier Field were seemingly not too happy.

Towards the end of regulation, the Bears were marching down the field and were threatening to at least tie the game.
However, instead of forcing overtime, cornerback Riq Woolen intercepted Caleb Williams' final pass of the night.

All in all, hopefully the McCaskey family was in their soundproof stadium suite, as fans were united in their message for Bears' ownership.
"Sell the team" chants broke out in the crowd and echoed as the fans were leaving the stadium.

After the Bears didn't even score a touchdown, the chants were even heard on air during the postgame broadcast.

That is to say, the qualms with the direction of the team is certainly understandable, as Chicago has now lost 10 games in a row.
The Bears were a Hail Mary stop away from 5-2

Wow.
Tyrique Stevenson seen taunting the crowd while the Hail Mary play was getting snapped.
Ultimately led to a touchdown that bounced off his hand.
Cant make this stuff up. #Bears

Certainly, this is not how the Bears envisioned this season going.
To point out, the Bears drafted Williams with the No. 1 overall draft pick this year, but the offense hasn't found much success.
In Thursday's game, Williams ended with an underwhelming 122 passing yards (1 INT/0 TD), while the team punted seven times for 327 yards.
Putting things into perspective, the night Williams was drafted he texted the Bears' punter, Tory Taylor: "Hey, you're not going to punt too much here."

And funny thing is, the Bears currently have the second-most punts in the NFL this season.

In addition, Williams has been sacked 67 times, which is more than any other NFL quarterback this season. To emphasize, this is 4th most all-time, as the record is 76 sacks (Texans' David Carr; 2002 season).
With this in mind, Williams and the Bears will have a chance to break the single-season record when they play the Green Bay Packers on January 5.
