On a rainy night in Chicago, the Bears and Seahawks combined for 10 sacks, 13 punts, 444 yards and nine points. The Seahawks won 6-3 in one of the worst games in the NFL this season.
Seattle moved to 9-7 in ending a two-game losing streak, and Chicago fell to 4-12 with a 10th consecutive loss.
The Bears’ last chance came with 5:12 left on their own 11. They drove to the Seattle 40, converting a fourth-and-5 with a 14-yard pass from Caleb Williams to DJ Moore and a third-and-14 with a 15-yard throw from Williams to Rome Odunze.
But the Bears, who mismanaged the clock, had their comeback hopes dashed when Williams threw the ball up for grabs while under pressure, and Riq Woolen intercepted it with 11 seconds left.
The Bears’ only points came after Williams’ 17-yard touchdown throw to Odunze on third-and-10 was negated by offensive lineman Jake Curhan’s holding penalty. Kicker Cairo Santos kicked a 42-yard field goal with 2:32 left in the first half.
They also had a defensive touchdown overturned by replay assist after Kyler Gordon forced a Pharaoh Brown fumble that he returned 62 yards. Brown, though, was down by contact at the Chicago 38, and the Bears went three-and-out.
Chicago had 179 yards, and Williams took seven sacks, including two by Leonard Williams. Caleb Williams now has taken 67 sacks, which is nine short of David Carr’s NFL record for sacks in a season.
Moore caught six passes for 54 yards, and D’Andre Swift had 12 carries for 53 yards.
The Seahawks had 265 yards and punted six times.
Geno Smith was 17-of-23 for 160 yards, with Noah Fant catching four for 43. Zach Charbonnet had 15 carries for 57 yards.
