Thursday Night Football: Seahawks lead Bears 6-3 at halftime

The Bears and Seahawks have combined for six punts and nine points. Seattle headed to the locker room with a 6-3 halftime lead.

The most exciting part of Thursday Night Football came just before the two-minute warning when Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf and Bears defensive back Tyrique Stevenson got into it. Metcalf ended up drawing a 15-yard penalty for head-butting Stevenson. During the timeout, Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett and Bears defensive lineman DeMarcus Walker exchanged words.

On a rainy night in Chicago, the Seahawks had scoring drives of 71 and 38 yards and settled for Jason Myers’ field goals of 27 and 50 after stalling at the Bears 9 and 32.

The Seahawks gained 178 yards in the first half, including 91 rushing. Zach Charbonnet has nine carries for 50 yards and Kenny McIntosh five for 37.

Geno Smith is 10-of-15 for 97 yards, with Noah Fant catching three for 40.

The Bears punted on their first three possessions, two of them three-and-outs. They then put together a 13-play, 67-yard drive that ended with a 42-yard Cairo Santos field goal with 2:32 left in the half.

The Bears scored a 17-yard touchdown on Caleb Williams’ 17-yard throw to Rome Odunze on third-and-10, but offensive lineman Jake Curhan was called for holding.

Chicago has only 101 yards with Williams going 7-of-13 for 82 yards and DJ Moore catching three for 37.
