The Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears are battling from rainy Soldier Field on this special edition of “Thursday Night Football,” and this game is much more important for one team than the other.
Seattle can only make the postseason via an NFC West title, meaning the Los Angeles Rams need to lose out, including a loss to the Seahawks in Week 18. With a loss to the Bears, the Seahawks would be eliminated from playoff contention.
The Seahawks started off hot, marching 71 yards down the field on 11 plays, and Jason Myers converted on a 27-yard field goal. Caleb Williams’ unit, meanwhile, struggled out of the gates, punting on its first three possessions. The Bears did tie the game, thanks to an impressive 13-play, 67-yard drive which was capped by a Cairo Santos 42-yard field goal. Right before halftime, Myers hit a 50-yard field goal to give Seattle the lead heading into the break.
It’s an NFC showdown on the day after Christmas. Follow along in the live blog below, as we break down all the action as it happens.
