Simone Biles tried to uplift the Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams after their narrow 6-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks means the team has now lost 10 consecutive games as they remain rooted at the bottom of the NFC North with a 4-12 record.
The Bears’ last win came in the United Kingdom when they took on the Jacksonville Jaguars and won 35-16 but since their Week 7 bye it has been nothing but pain at Soldier Field and on the road.
And part of that pain was shared by Biles, who was in attendance on December 26 as she plainly said, “Thursday night football,” along with a photo of the hosting venue under the floodlights.

Bears set franchise losing record
Five of the losses came against their NFC North rivals, the Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings but they have also been beaten by the Washington Commanders, Arizona Cardinals, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers and now the Seahawks too.
The results have seen Matt Eberflus fired from his role as head coach on November 29, and Thomas Brown has been unable to turn their form around in the interim period so they will finish bottom of their division for the third year in-a-row.
The 10 losses on the spin sets a new franchise record to go on Caleb Williams’ resume, despite the rookie quarterback passing for 3393 yards and 19 touchdowns and allowing just six interceptions.
Worryingly, he has been sacked 67 times. That’s 15 clear of the Houston Texans’ C.J Stroud and 19 ahead of the Seahawk’s Geno Smith, who have played as many games as the 23-year-old USC Trojans’ graduate.
The Bears are next in action on January 5 when they head to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers in one last NFC North clash before they sign off the end of a miserable season that seemed to begin with so much promise.
