What’s the latest with the Chicago Bears?
With just one game left this season, the focus has shifted to what's gearing up to be an important offseason for the Bears. It'll be headlined by the team's coaching search, which will be wide-ranging and be searching for a "leader of men" but also someone who can help develop quarterback Caleb Williams. But following a disaster of a season, where Chicago started 4-2 and have been on a 10-game losing streak ever since, receiver DJ Moore wondered if it might make any coaching candidates hesitate about taking the job.
