The Seattle Seahawks managed to keep their playoff aspirations alive with a narrow victory over the Chicago Bears, winning 6-3 in a game marked by defensive prowess and missed opportunities. Riq Woolen's late interception of Caleb Williams capped off a frustrating night for the Bears, who have now suffered ten consecutive losses. This defeat not only extends their current losing streak but also adds to the franchise's woes, as they have now set a new record for the most sacks allowed in a season, surpassing their previous high from 2004.
In a game that was low on scoring but high on tension, Jason Myers kicked two crucial field goals for Seattle, including a 50-yarder just before halftime that gave the Seahawks a slim lead. Geno Smith managed to throw for 160 yards, while the Seattle defense, led by Leonard Williams, recorded seven sacks. The Bears’ offense struggled significantly, with Caleb Williams completing only 16 of 28 passes for 122 yards, a stark contrast to his previous week’s performance against Detroit.
With this victory, the Seahawks improved their record to 9-7, keeping them within reach of the NFC West-leading Los Angeles Rams. Meanwhile, Chicago’s latest defeat has led to increasing frustration among fans, who were heard chanting for ownership changes as the team continues to flounder under interim coach Thomas Brown.
