One of the lasting memories of the 2024 Chicago Bears season will be fans chanting “Sell the team!” in the final two minutes and as they exited Soldier Field on Thursday night after the team’s 10th consecutive loss.


The Bears still had the ball. They had crossed midfield. They still had the ability to stop the clock and they were trailing the Seattle Seahawks just 6-3 when the disgruntled crowd picked up on what White Sox fans did at Rate Field during a record-setting season of futility. There was no mistaking what the message was as the Bears offense tried to engineer a game-winning drive.


The opportunity fizzled out. The Bears lost 6-3 to fall to 4-12 with one game remaining before the team launches headfirst into its coaching search. Quarterback Caleb Williams took seven sacks in what was another lousy performance by the offense. The Bears are now 98-3 since the start of the 1950 season when they limit the opponent to six points or fewer.
