The Chicago Bears wrapped their 2024 season with a disappointing 5-12 record after a 4-2 start before the bye week.
The season was filled with plenty of heartbreaking losses, starting with a Hail Mary against the Washington Commanders and including several potential game-winning drives marred by poor coaching decisions. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams dealt with the worst offensive line in the league, two head coaches and three offensive coordinators.
