Caleb Williams managed to complete 16 of 28 passes for 122 yards, but the relentless pressure from the Seahawks’ front seven disrupted his timing and decision-making. The Bears’ offensive line struggled to provide adequate protection, leading to a night where Williams was frequently on the ground or hurried into making throws.
Despite the challenges, Williams displayed resilience and determination. He continued to fight through the adversity, trying to lead his team to a much-needed victory. Unfortunately for him, the Bears’ offense could not find the end zone, settling for a field goal as their only points of the night.
The Seahawks’ defense deserves credit for their dominant performance. They executed their game plan flawlessly, shutting down the Bears’ passing game and limiting their rushing attack. The defensive effort was led by standout performances from defensive end Darrell Taylor, who recorded two of the seven sacks, and linebacker Bobby Wagner, who was a constant presence in the backfield.
