Following the matchup, Kmet was asked if he took any positives from the game. He responded to reporters in a frustrated manner.

"I mean, I'm kind of done doing that," Kmet said. "You know, I have been through this now, you know, two years ago. I felt like you're trying to find positive things, and, you know, it's hard for me to, like, be real with myself and find positives when it's 34-17."

Following the game, Cole Kmet praised Williams for continuing to step up.

"You know, it's important for younger guys to take steps up, and that's cool to see Caleb able to do that, but I mean, at the end, it's 34-17," Kmet said. "It's not good enough. You know, we got to be able to finish these things out.

"The guys come to work ready to roll here, and we got a quick turnaround Thursday, and you know, hopefully, that everyone kind of takes some onus on themselves to come in and just try to do what they can and put some really good stuff on tape."

Chicago's losing streak started on Oct. 27 against Washington. Their nine consecutive losses is the second-longest skid in team history.

The Bears will be back in action on Thursday against the Seattle Seahawks.
