Chicago: It was a rough night for both teams. The Seahawks managed to scrape by with a 6-3 win over the Bears, but honestly, it was one of the ugliest games I’ve seen. Caleb Williams and Geno Smith are in totally different spots in their careers, and it showed.
Neither quarterback looked great, and fans were left wondering what the future holds for both. The Seahawks got the win, but it wasn’t pretty. The game was scoreless in the second half until the Bears finally made a push late in the game. Williams had a couple of decent plays, but it all fell apart when he threw an interception on a desperate fourth down.
For Smith, the questions are piling up. He’s about to turn 35, and folks are starting to wonder if he’s still the right guy for Seattle. His performance didn’t help his case at all. Meanwhile, Williams, the top pick from this year’s draft, is safe for now, but the Bears need to figure out how to support him better next season.
As the offseason approaches, both teams have some serious soul-searching to do about their quarterback situations. The Bears have already fired their coach, and they need to find someone who can help Williams develop. It’s a mess, and they need to get it right this time.
Fans had to endure a first half where neither team could score much. The Bears have been notoriously slow starters this season, and this game was no exception. They managed just a field goal in the first half, while the Seahawks only managed two. It was a tough watch, especially in the cold and rain.
The second half didn’t get any better. The score stayed at 6-3 for what felt like forever. The Bears had a chance to tie it late, but they just couldn’t get it done. Williams took a ton of sacks, and the offensive line didn’t help him out at all. It’s clear that both teams need to make some changes if they want to improve next season.
In the end, this game was a reminder of how tough it can be for teams that are struggling. The Seahawks might have won, but they’ve got their own issues to sort out. And for the Bears, it’s back to the drawing board as they look for a new coach and a way to turn things around.
