The Chicago Bears struggled mightily throughout a 6-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football.
With the Bears attempting to convert on fourth down while looking to tie the game late in the fourth quarter, Caleb Williams was pressured into a lofty throw that was intercepted by Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen.
Williams finished 16-of-28 for 122 yards, getting sacked seven times. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft has now been sacked at least seven times in four separate games throughout his rookie season.
The loss represented the Bears’ 10th consecutive defeat, tying a franchise record.
Chicago’s offense as a whole struggled to gain traction in rainy conditions, recording just 179 total yards and averaging a mere 3.1 yards per play. The Bears converted five of 15 opportunities on third down.
The Seahawks were only able to muster six points to go along with 265 total yards, but they held a three-point halftime lead and were able to maintain it throughout the duration of the contest.
Fans called out Chicago’s sluggish performance.

Chicago will attempt to avoid losing a franchise-record 11th consecutive game to close out the regular season against the Green Bay Packers in Week 18.
