The Seattle Seahawks secured a hard-fought 6-3 victory over the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football, emerging as the winners in a low-scoring matchup. Here’s what we learned from the game:
* The Seahawks’ defense played a crucial role in the win, holding the Bears to just 246 total yards and forcing three turnovers. The unit’s defensive line, led by Carlos Technical, dominated upfront and consistently applied pressure on quarterback Justin Fields.
* The Bears’ offense struggled to get going, with quarterback Justin Fields being sacked four times and intercepted once. The Seattle pass rush was relentless, and the Bears’ starting unit combined for just 115 yards of total offense.
* The Seahawks’ offense, led by quarterback Geno Smith, had its own struggles, but managed to eke out just enough points to secure the win. Seattle’s rushing attack was stifled, but Smith made a few key plays to keep the chains moving.
* The Bears failed to convert on several crucial third downs, which ultimately proved costly. The Seahawks, on the other hand, were three for three on their own third-down attempts.
* Seattle’s special teams unit made a significant impact, blocking a punt and recovering a floating snap in the end zone for a touchdown. The blocked punt set up a crucial red-zone drive, resulting in the Seahawks’ game-winning field goal.
* The win marks the Seahawks’ first on Thursday Night Football this season, and just their second in their last five outings. The Bears, meanwhile, fell to 3-11 and remain in danger of missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year.
