Exciting moments from the NFL this season
Chicago Bears: A Season of Struggles
The Chicago Bears faced yet another tough defeat against the Seattle Seahawks, slipping to a 3-6 loss that exemplifies their tumultuous season. Initially, the Bears appeared to be on a promising path with a record of 4-2 after their first six games. However, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has faltered recently, throwing no touchdowns over a four-week stretch despite having a slightly better start to the season.
In the latest game, Williams managed just 121 passing yards, along with 37 rushing yards, marking a disheartening outing as he struggled against the Seahawks’ defense. His season total of 67 sacks leads to substantial yardage loss and raises concerns about his protection from the offensive line.
“I’m just focusing on improving and tackling my mistakes,” Williams commented after the game.
With questions surrounding the Bears’ future direction, fans are left pondering what the plan is moving forward. The recent firing of head coach Matt Eberflus has spurred speculation about a major overhaul this offseason, something that might finally breathe new life into the franchise.

Geno Smith Guides Seahawks to Victory
In a less-than-exciting matchup, the Seattle Seahawks managed to edge out the Bears with a 6-3 victory. Despite the lack of offensive fireworks – including 13 combined punts and no touchdowns – Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith remained upbeat post-game, stating, “It’s not always sunshine and rainbows, but a win is a win.” With this victory, the Seahawks hold a playoff probability at about 15%, putting significant emphasis on their upcoming clash against the Los Angeles Rams, which could define their postseason chances.
Head Coach Mike Macdonald expressed confidence in his team, noting, “We’re focused on controlling what we can control.” This upcoming matchup could be pivotal for Seattle as they navigate their path to the playoffs.

In a groundbreaking move, these Christmas games will be streamed on Netflix, marking a significant shift in viewership options. Fans are eagerly awaiting how this new arrangement will play out in such a competitive landscape with existing broadcasters like RTL, Sky, and DAZN.
