A rainy night at Soldier Field saw the Chicago Bears suffer another tough loss to the Seattle Seahawks in a defensive showdown.
Williams’ Streak Snapped in Crushing Interception
The Chicago Bears faced a chilly, rainy Thursday night against the Seattle Seahawks, falling 6-3 in a low-scoring defensive battle. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick, saw his impressive streak of 354 passes without an interception end during a critical moment. On a fourth-down attempt to extend the game, Williams was hit mid-throw, leading to a game-sealing interception by Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen.
Williams managed just 122 passing yards and was sacked seven times, highlighting the struggles of Chicago’s offensive line, which has allowed him to be sacked 67 times this season. The Bears’ offense continued to falter, drawing the ire of fans who voiced their frustration with chants to “sell the team.”
Defensive Showcase in a Tight Game
The Seahawks’ defense proved to be the difference-maker, keeping the team alive in the NFC playoff race. Despite a minimal offensive output of 160 passing yards by quarterback Geno Smith, Seattle’s defense delivered a dominating performance, sacking Williams seven times and stifling Chicago’s attempts to move the ball.
Smith, reflecting on the victory, said, “Defense played tremendous. At this point, we don’t care how we get wins. We just want to win games.”
Seattle’s playoff hopes hinge on key matchups in the final week of the regular season. A Rams loss to the Cardinals and a Seahawks win against LA would secure the NFC West title and a postseason berth.
Bears’ Troubles Continue
The loss marked Chicago’s 10th consecutive defeat, dropping them to 4-12 on the season and 0-4 under interim head coach Thomas Brown. With one game remaining against the Green Bay Packers, the Bears face an uncertain offseason full of questions about their offensive line and coaching direction.
Conclusion
The Bears’ tough season continued with another loss, exposing offensive struggles and raising questions about their future. Despite Caleb Williams’ efforts, Chicago’s offensive line faltered again, and the team couldn’t break their losing streak. Meanwhile, the Seahawks leaned on their defense to secure a gritty win and keep their playoff hopes alive. Both teams are heading in different directions as the season nears its end.
