“Why Would You Ask That?” – Angry NFL Fans Want Reporter Fired Over Awkward Question About Caleb Williams After Bears’ Win vs. Bengals [VIDEO]

NFL fans want CBS Sports to fire sideline reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala after her awkward question about Caleb Williams in front of rookie teammate Colston Loveland.
Caleb Williams and Colston Loveland saved the Chicago Bears from a humiliating fourth-quarter meltdown in Sunday’s 47-42 comeback win over the Joe Burrow-less Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bears gave up 15 points inside the final two minutes to cough up a 14-point lead and looked poised to fall to 4-4, but Williams and Loveland had other ideas, with the latter catching a 58-yard touchdown in the waning seconds to stun Cincinnati.
Williams and Loveland spoke to Kinkhabwala after the thrilling (and potentially season-saving) victory. As the interview was winding down, she awkwardly asked Loveland if Bears fans would “be a little quieter on” Williams after their win:
Fans called out Kinkhabwala on X/Twitter and found the question unfair to both players:
“This reporter should be fired or forced to apologize what kind of final question is that absolutely ridiculous and out of touch,” wrote a fan.
“what is her problem? why would you ask that??” asked a user.
“Sideline reporters are the most unnecessary people in all of sports,” said a fan.
“We all make mistakes, and I even think your words might’ve not been ill-intended, but at some point the learning has to kick in and get that fixed. Hopefully that time comes soon,” another wrote.
“Now you see why Ben Johnson had smoke for her. Get her off these Bears games please,” said a user.
Kinkhabwala and Bears head coach Ben Johnson had an awkward interview during the club’s Week 4 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Afterward, Kinkhabwala admitted she was not in the “most ideal position” during the interview, and Johnson said he was “disappointed” after looking back on how he responded.
Caleb Williams & The Bears Look Like Legitimate Playoff Contenders

The Bears got off to an ugly 0-2 start and looked like they’d finish near the NFC basement again, but Williams and company had other ideas. Chicago has since rebounded with victories in five of their last six games, including a statement Week 6 win on the road over the Washington Commanders.
Now at 5-3, the Bears are just half a game behind the 5-2-1 Green Bay Packers for the top spot in the NFC North. Chicago’s second-half schedule is daunting and all, but don’t forget that their three division rivals also have to beat up on each other down the stretch.
If Chicago can go, say, 3-1 over their remaining four divisional games, they’ll be in a good spot to end a five-year postseason drought.
