Seahawks Lose to Bears, Admit Flaws
Tap title to read story
Monday night’s game in Seattle featured two 2025 NFC playoff teams.
The Bears celebrated a thirty‑four to seventeen win over the defending Super Bowl champions.
The Seahawks had made it a three‑point game early in the fourth quarter, but a thirty‑nine‑yard screen pass to Kalif Raymond converted a key Bears third down on the next drive and the roof caved in on the Seahawks from there.
The Bears ended the night with one hundred eleven more offensive yards than the Seahawks and their defense thwarted Seattle on ten of their eleven third‑down attempts over the course of the night.
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said after the game that there’s no other way to sugarcoat the way his team got beat.
