Seahawks defeat Bears in ugly 6-3 affair; NFL Week 17 preview, picks

🏈 Good morning to all, but especially to …

THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Was anyone really the “winner” from watching or playing in last night’s game? Well, I guess someone was. The Seahawks beat the Bears, 6-3, on the final “Thursday Night Football” contest of the season, and it was maybe even worse than the unsightly scoreline.

This was the lowest-scoring game of the season, the second touchdown-less game of the season and the first 6-3 game since 2011.Seattle’s defense sacked Caleb Williams seven times, and Riq Woolen picked off a fourth-down jump ball to end the game.Clearly, it doesn’t matter who is coaching. The Bears cannot manage the clock. They burned two timeouts, showed little sense of urgency and ultimately came up woefully short on their final drive.It was barely better for the Seahawks, and only because they won. Jason Myers kicked two field goals. Seattle remains alive for the playoffs, though that could change by weekend’s end. If not, the Seahawks and Rams could meet a winner-takes-the-NFC-West game in Week 18.

Long story short, at least the Seahawks’ season is still alive. The Bears’ hasn’t been for a while, and this was, somehow, a new low. Is this franchise cursed? I don’t know, but watching last night made me feel cursed.
