Nothing was pretty from both offenses in this game, but the Seattle Seahawks came away with a critical win over the Chicago Bears, 6-3, on “Thursday Night Football.”
The Seahawks moved to 9-7 on the season, and will be watching what the Los Angeles Rams do against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday night as Week 18’s matchup between both teams would determine the winner of the NFC West.
The Bears, on the other hand, are looking toward next season already at 4-12.
The score indicates that no touchdowns were scored in the game, as both teams had trouble finding pay dirt. The Seahawks’ first drive of the game ended after an incomplete pass from Geno Smith to Tyler Lockett on third-and-three from Chicago’s nine-yard line. They moved the ball well on the game’s opening drive, settling for a field goal, but appeared to have the game plan to beat the Bears’ defense.
The Seahawks’ offense was able to move the ball well, but struggled to score, settling for two field goals. The Bears’ offense, meanwhile, was unable to get anything going, and had to settle for a single field goal.
