Bears interim coach says there was 'no confusion' in timeout-wasting sequence: 'I just changed my mind'

The Chicago Bears' 6-3 defeat against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday was sealed with a Caleb Williams interception, but there was one sequence earlier in the drive that showed the team to be truly lost.

With 5:12 left in the game, the Bears got the ball back and had a chance to either tie the game or take the lead. They could also afford a three-and-out, as they had all three of their timeouts left. The worst thing that could have happened was the drive eating multiple minutes off the clock without gaining many yards.

As anyone familiar with the Bears this season could predict, that last scenario was the one that came true.
