You know football can be a tough game, especially when Mother Nature decides to make it rain and get chilly. That's what happened in Chicago on Thursday night. The Chicago Bears were up against the Seattle Seahawks, and it turned into a real defensive battle. Neither team could score much, and the crowd was getting restless.
Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams from the Bears had a job to do. He needed to get his team close enough for a field goal and maybe send the game into overtime. But things didn't go as planned. With just a few yards to go, Williams was hit while throwing, and the ball was intercepted by Seattle's Tariq Woolen. That sealed the deal for the Seahawks, ending the game with a score of 6-3.
Williams had been doing great, not throwing an interception in his first 354 passes, which is a rookie record. But even the best can have a bad day. Williams finished the game with 122 yards and that one interception. On the other side, Geno Smith from the Seahawks completed 17 out of 23 passes for 160 yards.
Fans in Chicago were disappointed, but the Seahawks were happy. Their defense played a big part, sacking Williams seven times. That helped keep Seattle in the race for the NFC playoffs. They're not at the top of the list, but they're still in the game with a 15% chance to make it to the postseason.
The Bears have been struggling lately. They've lost ten games in a row after starting the season strong. Their interim coach, Thomas Brown, hasn't been able to turn things around yet. They have one more game to go, against the Green Bay Packers.
The Seahawks, on the other hand, are doing better. They're now 9-7 and could clinch the NFC West with a bit of help. If the Los Angeles Rams lose their next game and the Seahawks win, they're in.
Football is full of ups and downs, and this game was a perfect example. The Bears need to work on their offense line, as Williams has been sacked a lot this season. But for now, it's the Seahawks celebrating a well-fought win.
