Grading the Chicago Bears against the Seattle Seahawks

Bears Game Day Live: Who should the Bears target in the 2025 NFL Draft?

Thanks to Carolina, the Bears will have three picks in the top 50 selections of the 2025 NFL Draft, maybe even higher. Here's where Lou, Anthony and Tina see the Bears going in the draft.

CHICAGO - The final home game of the season for the Chicago Bears was an offensive stinker.

FINAL: Seattle 6, Chicago 3. Look away.

Here's how we graded the Bears in their home finale against the Seattle Seahawks on a rainy Thursday night.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams

It'll never be clear how well Caleb Williams' season would have gone had he had a normal season.

However, with his start on Thursday Caleb Williams became the first Bears quarterback to start 16 games in a regular season since Jay Cutler in the 2009 season.

His durability, even in a season where he's taken so many hits, has been impressive.

Grade: INCOMPLETE

Chicago Bears offense

The Seahawks' defense allows 4.6 yards per rush, which is tied for the 10th-worst in the league. The Bears' longest rush was a 16-yard scramble by Caleb Williams.

The Bears' offense, through three quarters, had 119 net yards and three total points. It was another struggle of a day for the Bears. But, they had a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter.

Still, the offensive struggles were too much to overcome.

The Bears allowed seven sacks as the season sack total climbed to 67 sacks allowed. That's 10 away from setting the NFL record.

Seahawks' defensive lineman Leonard Williams had two sacks four quarterback hits and three tackles for loss.

The Bears' offense short-circuited in the worst way on Thursday, showcasing the need for a reset this offseason on the offensive line.

Grade: F

Chicago Bears defense

Montez Sweat had his first sack since Nov. 24. Even Darrell Taylor, the former Seahawk, got his first sack since his two-sack game all the way back in Week 1. The defense allowed six points in the first half.

The pass rush was active. That allowed the Bears to limit Seattle's passing game. They even got in on the turnover battle when Kyler Gordon forced and recovered a fumble.

The Bears did bend a bit, though. Seattle was xx of xx on third-down conversions. They moved the ball well.

Still, it's hard to look too critically at the defense. It never broke. Thursday was the first time in over a month the Bears did not begin a first half down by less than 13 points.

Credit the defense for that. They didn't give Seattle chances to go up.

Grade: B+
