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.
