On the day after Christmas, neither the Seahawks nor the Bears have offered their fans much to be excited about in a sluggish Thursday night game.
CHICAGO, Ill. - With the two teams nearly combining to punt as many times as points scored, the Seattle Seahawks slogged through an uneventful first half to take a 6-3 lead over the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football.
But while Charbonnet and McIntosh found consistent running room against Chicago's porous defensive front, Geno Smith wasn't near as sharp passing the football. Finishing 10 for 15 for 97 yards, much of his yardage came on quick screens and he nearly threw his sixth red zone red zone interception on the opening drive, lucking out that two Bears defenders couldn't secure the ball, while uncorking several inaccurate third down throws along the way.
Defensively, the Seahawks bottled up Caleb Williams and a sputtering Bears offense, forcing a pair of three and outs and three punts total. The rookie quarterback took a pair of sacks from Derick Hall and Leonard Williams, completing seven out of 13 passes for 82 yards with nearly a third of that total coming on a 24-yard completion to running back D'Andre Swift out of the backfield that helped lead to a Cairo Santos field goal late in the half.
