Seahawks-Bears: Seattle keeps playoff hopes alive with 6-3 win over Chicago in one of NFL’s worst games of 2024 season

Had that last throw not been intercepted, Caleb Williams would have become just the third QB in NFL history with 10 consecutive games with at least 20 pass attempts and no interceptions (Tom Brady in 2010 and Derek Carr in 2018).

  • The Bears have lost their 10th straight game, while the Seahawks keep their playoff hopes alive by moving to 9-7. They will still need some help this weekend and next.
  • The Seahawks win the lowest-scoring game of the season by having an offense that at least resembled functionality at one point.
  • Geno Smith: 17-of-23 for 160 yards, three sacks
  • Caleb Williams: 16-of-28 for 122 yards, one interception, seven sacks
  • Caleb Williams throws it up high after getting hit with more immediate pressure, but it’s a Seahawk who comes down with it this time. Riq Woolen gets the pick and that will do it for this game.
  • That also breaks Williams’ interception streak, which was maybe last good thing to say aboutf a rookie season that has not gone according to plan.
  • Caleb Williams throws to no one on third down and it’s suddenly 4th-and-10 with 20 seconds left after a Seattle timeout. The Bears could be going for a 58-yard field goal to tie it, but it looks like they’re sending the offense back out.

The Bears have used two timeouts inside 2:14 while trailing, and neither of those were used to stop the clock.

  • What on earth? The Bears burn their final timeout after some confusion at the line of scrimmage, with 31 seconds left. Williams has saved them a couple times, but this drive has been a time management disaster for the Bears.
  • Wow, it was an adventure to get there, but Caleb Williams makes a great throw under pressure to D.J. Moore to get a massive first down. That was probably his best play of the game.
  • Wait, now the Bears burn their second timeout of the half to actually go for it on 4th-and-5.
  • And Bears right guard Jake Curhan gets called for a false start, making it 4th-and-5. So the Bears are punting with 2:14 remaining. What a trainwreck.
  • Caleb Williams gets stopped just short of a first down on a third-down scramble and the Bears appear to be going for it on 4th-and-inches. They call a timeout first, with 2:14 remaining. This is starting to look like their last real opportunity of the game.

In case you’re wondering, a 6-3 score would tie the fewest combined points in a game in Seahawks history. Seattle lost 6-3 at Cleveland in 2011.

CB Josh Jobe questionable to return because of a knee injury, #Seahawks say. That’s why S Rayshawn Jenkins was on the field that drive in nickel, to get the 3rd-down sack.

Josh Jobe indeed being treated for an injury of some sort in the blue tent. No announcement yet in press box. Appears to be left knee/ankle area.

  • The important part right now is making sure this game doesn’t go to overtime.
