Caleb Williams Will Remain Bears QB1 Amid Team's Offensive Struggles, Eberflus Says

Although the Chicago Bears are in the midst of a three-game losing streak, a quarterback change isn't on the table.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus confirmed that rookie signal-caller Caleb Williams will remain at the top of the depth chart.

"Caleb is our starter," Eberflus said on Monday, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

He also revealed there "will be changes" made to help turn the season around as he's "in the process of" evaluating the rest of the team, via Rapoport.

Williams finished 16-of-30 for 120 yards during Chicago's 19-3 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday. He was also sacked a season-high nine times.

Following the defeat, Eberflus said he'll evaluate "everything from the top to the bottom" which included a potential change regarding Chicago's offensive play-caller (via ESPN's Courtney Cronin).

Williams wasn't satisfied with his performance against New England, but he is determined to learning from his mistakes.

"Definitely this game is a lot to learn from for myself, just speaking on some of the situational things," he told reporters on Sunday. "Obviously, there's a few passes every game that you wish you could have back and things like that. But I think situationally, this game was a great learning experience for me with some of these situations that I could have done better for sure."

On the season as a whole, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft has thrown for 1,785 yards and nine touchdowns compared to five interceptions. While he has dealt with inaccuracy issues and been sacked a league-leading 38 times, he's also showcased his potential on several occasions.

Prior to the Bears' current losing streak, they won three straight games from Week 4 through Week 6. Over that span, Williams completed 74.1 percent of his passes for 687 yards and seven touchdowns while getting picked off only once.

Eberflus could make changes ahead of an upcoming NFC North showdown with the Green Bay Packers in Week 11, but Williams' starting job isn't in jeopardy.
