Caleb Williams says the Bears' long losing streak is a new experience for him

Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams knew he was going to experience some new things in his first year in the NFL, but he wasn't hoping for an experience like the one he's having right now.

Williams said today that the Bears' current seven-game losing streak is unlike anything he's been through as a football player.

"I've never had a streak like this of losing," Williams said. "This is my first time of being a part of something like this, of losing, and this streak."

Williams said there's still optimism in the locker room, even after a season that started promising at 4-2 has now fallen to a record of 4-9.

"There's belief, hope and faith that we're going to get this right. However that may happen, that's how it's going to happen. That's kind of where I'm at with it," Williams said.

The Bears are 6.5-point underdogs at Minnesota on Monday night and will likely be underdogs in every game the rest of the season. Williams will do his best to avoid ending the season on an 11-game losing streak.
