The Seattle Seahawks secured a narrow 6-3 victory over the Chicago Bears, keeping their playoff aspirations alive in a game characterized by offensive struggles and a dominant defensive performance. Geno Smith, despite not being at his best due to a knee injury, managed to throw for 160 yards, while Zach Charbonnet stepped in for the injured Ken Walker III, rushing for 57 yards. The Seahawks' offense was largely stifled, with Smith's performance marked by a lack of accuracy and a tendency to rely on short passes, resulting in a poor third down conversion rate. However, the team managed to score through two Jason Myers field goals, showcasing their ability to capitalize on limited opportunities.

Defensively, the Seahawks shone, particularly with Leonard Williams, who recorded two sacks, and Riq Woolen, who sealed the victory with an interception. The Bears' offense, led by rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, struggled to find rhythm, facing relentless pressure from Seattle's defense, which registered seven sacks throughout the game. Devon Witherspoon's standout performance included multiple tackles for loss, further complicating matters for the Bears. A pivotal moment occurred when a potential touchdown for Chicago was overturned, allowing Seattle to maintain their lead. This victory not only guarantees a winning season for the Seahawks but also underscores their defensive prowess as they head into the final stretch of the season.
