The Chicago Bears showcased a remarkable defensive performance during their recent game against the Seattle Seahawks, yet it was not sufficient to secure a win. Despite limiting the Seahawks to just 265 yards and allowing only two field goals by Jason Myers, the Bears found themselves on the losing end of a 6-3 scoreline. Safety Kevin Byard expressed disappointment, indicating that the defense should have aimed to keep the opponents to even fewer points.

This loss marked a historic moment for the Bears, as they became the first team in NFL history to lose a game while allowing six points or fewer. This unique statistic highlights the struggles the franchise has faced, as it has only happened four times in the last 90 seasons. The last time the Bears experienced such a loss was in 1999 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when they also fell 6-3.

The Bears' defense was expected to be a stronghold this season, especially following the selection of quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick in the draft. However, the team has faced challenges, suffering a 10-game losing streak after an initial promising start of 4-2. Defensive back Kyler Gordon acknowledged the team's recent struggles but emphasized the importance of returning to their defensive standards, noting that they performed significantly better in this game.
