In a game where points were scarce, both Seattle and Chicago's defenses dominated, leading to a thrilling defensive showdown.
Apologies to everyone whose fantasy championships were invested in this game, because this was an old-fashioned defensive showdown. And for as tough as it was to watch from a “let’s see some points” perspective, there was something beautiful in the ugliness of this game.
