The Seattle Seahawks narrowly defeated the Chicago Bears 6-3 in a game characterized by an overwhelming number of punts, totaling 13 between the two teams. This lackluster performance leaves the Seahawks' playoff aspirations precariously balanced, while the Bears find themselves in a downward spiral, having lost their last ten games after a promising start of 4-2.

In the aftermath of the game, Pro Football Focus (PFF) analysts were busy grading every player’s performance. Although detailed grades will be released following a thorough review, some standout players have already been identified. Among them, cornerback Kyler Gordon and defensive interior players Byron Cowart and Leonard Williams received the highest grades, showcasing their defensive prowess despite the overall lack of offensive excitement.

Leonard Williams, in particular, stood out as the player of the game, achieving six quarterback pressures, including two sacks. His performance not only contributed to the Seahawks' victory but also positioned him for a career-high overall grade if his performance level is maintained through the remainder of the season.

The Seattle Seahawks secured a narrow 6-3 victory over the Chicago Bears, a game that highlighted their defensive prowess while their offense struggled significantly. Despite the win, the Seahawks displayed undisciplined play, accumulating procedural penalties and a personal foul by wide receiver DK Metcalf. Their offensive output was dismal, managing only 265 yards and failing to score a touchdown, marking one of their worst performances in over a year. The game was ultimately decided by a pivotal interception from Riq Woolen, sealing the win against a Bears team that has been on a downward spiral.

The Seahawks' path to the playoffs hinges on their performance against the Los Angeles Rams in the upcoming week. Quarterback Geno Smith had a lackluster outing, completing 17 of 23 passes for 160 yards, but he managed to avoid interceptions, which have plagued him this season. He will be looking to improve as he heads to So-Fi Stadium, where playoff implications are at stake.

On the other side, the Bears' offense was marred by issues, with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams struggling under pressure, resulting in seven sacks. The Bears have now lost ten consecutive games against the Seahawks, and their season has been disappointing, with a lack of offensive production evident throughout the year. General manager Ryan Poles acknowledged the team's slow starts as a key issue, attributing it to problems that began in training camp. As the season wraps up, both teams face crucial matchups ahead, with the Seahawks still holding onto slim playoff hopes.
