Caleb Williams — in an interview with Esquire — admitted the team was " annoyed by " the way former Bears coach Matt Eberflus handled the situation, per the Chicago Sun-Times.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams revealed that the team wasn't supportive of former head coach Matt Eberflus' response to a Hail Mary loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 8 of the 2024 season.

With no time remaining on the Week 8 clock in a game between the Commanders and the Chicago Bears, quarterback Jayden Daniels hurled a 'Hail Mary' pass toward the end zone. It was a pass that never hit the ground and landed in Brown's waiting hands, securing a three-point victory for the home team.
