Defense steps up for the Bears, but the offense struggles in a 6-3 loss to the Seahawks

Associated Press  

CHICAGO — The defense delivered for the Chicago Bears. The Bears became the first NFL team to lose when allowing six points or fewer since the Raiders fell 3-0 loss to the Vikings on Dec. 10, 2023. It was the fourth time in the last 90 seasons that the franchise lost a game when allowing six points or fewer, joining a 6-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Oct. 24, 1999, a 6-3 loss to Denver on Dec. 5, 1971, and a 3-0 loss to the New York Giants on Nov. 17, 1935. We did way better today.” Gordon made a big play with Chicago trailing 6-3 late in the third quarter, stripping Pharaoh Brown at the end of a 4-yard reception. But Smith’s third-and-6 pass to Zach Charbonnet gained just 2 yards and Seattle punted the ball back to Chicago with about five minutes left.
