It’s a good thing the Chicago Bears are on the road, because if they were at Soldier Field, their fans would have been shouting it after their 12-30 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Monday.

Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and the Bears struggled to move the ball on their first offensive possessions, failing to score and trailing the Vikings 13-0 at halftime, setting the tone for the 30 minutes following games.

The loss dropped the Bears to 4-10 on the season, ensuring another losing campaign for the team, while the Vikings improved to 12-2 after settling their affairs.

Williams finished the game completing 18 of 31 for 191 yards, a touchdown and a fumble while taking two sacks. On the other side, Sam Darnold finished 24 of 40 for 231 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

NFL fans and Bears faithful flooded social media to express their frustration with Williams and the Bears’ struggling offense.

Jason Kelce on the ESPN halftime show:
“Chicago needs to prove it belongs in the NFL.”

Bears have no place in the NFL! Can the Bears beat any team in the UFL? Probably not!

Kevin Fishbain @kfishbain

Well, the Bears defense held the Vikings to just 13 points in the first half. They have that going for them, which is good.

I’m starting to feel like the Chicago Bears are bad and there’s not much they can do to stop being bad!

The Chicago Bears could take every player and coach on any team for free and they would still be bad, I’m sure.

Harrison Graham @HGrahamNFL

It’s one thing to be a bad football team.
It’s another thing to be bad and boring.
The Bears have reached the bad and boring part once again.

Brittany @BrittsLyfe

The Bears are a terrible football team. It’s truly amazing how bad they are. But don’t worry, Bears fans, you’ll earn another offseason in a few months.

I mean, how is Caleb Williams NOT the most disappointing rookie QB of the century? this guy is completely lost. just trash

The Bears started the first half by failing to convert on a fourth down, followed by a Jonathan Greenard fumble, a punt and another failed conversion on fourth down. This paved the way for the Vikings to easily take the lead.

Vikings kicker Will Reichard kicked off the scoring, knocking down a 52-yard field goal early in the first quarter and giving Minnesota a 3-0 lead. Seven minutes later, receiver Justin Jefferson caught a seven-yard pass from Darnold to go up 10-0 and end the first quarter.

Williams and the Bears failed to get on the scoreboard in the first half, while Reichart added another basket for the Vikings, extending their lead to 13-0 at halftime.

The 13-point deficit proved too big for the Bears to claw back before the second half.

Bears kicker Cairo Santos got Chicago on the scoreboard at halftime with a 29-yard field goal, making the score 13-3.

The Vikings continued to twist the knife as running back Aaron Jones threw it to close out the third quarter. Cam Akers added another score, effectively sealing the game, despite a late touchdown from veteran Keenan Allen.

With another loss in the books, the Bears extended their losing streak to eight games. They will look to secure their first win since Week 6 when they take on the 12-2 Detroit Lions on Sunday.
