In a game to forget, the Seattle Seahawks managed to defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3, relying solely on field goals. While the matchup at Soldier Field was far from thrilling for fans, it marked an important win for Seattle, keeping their playoff hopes alive as they draw level with the Rams in victories and close in on the Commanders in the NFC.
Field Goals Defined the Game
The action in Soldier Field began with moderate interest as the Seahawks opened the scoring with a field goal, hinting at the potential for a competitive contest.
The Bears responded with a field goal in the second quarter to tie the game, but the Seahawks reclaimed the lead—and ultimately the win—with another field goal. From that point on, neither team managed to score, leaving Seattle to secure the victory in a defensive slog.
Seahawks Close in on Commanders and Rams
A win is a win, and the Seahawks capitalized on it. This victory moved them to a 9-7 record, placing them eighth in the NFC, just one win behind the Washington Commanders, who currently hold the final NFC playoff spot with a 10-5 record.
Additionally, in the NFC West, the Seahawks are now tied in wins with the Los Angeles Rams but carry one more loss. This sets up a scenario where Seattle could overtake the Rams in their divisional standings, depending on upcoming results.
