The Seattle Mariners defeated the Chicago White Sox, 6-3, on July 28.
So, it was logical that the Seattle Seahawks would defeat the Chicago Bears, 6-3, on Dec. 26.
The Bears have a way — and more than this season to go — to catch the White Sox’ slide. The losses to the Mariners were part of a 21-game losing streak.
The Bears have lost 10 in a row after being beaten Thursday by the Seahawks at Soldier Field.
They displayed ineptitude when it came to clock management. Calling a timeout after sending the punt team on the field before the two-minute warning.
They continued to huddle as the clock ticked using almost the full 40 seconds on the play clock multiple times.
Sill, they had a chance for a 57-yard field goal attempt by Cairo Santos on another fourth down. Interim coach Thomas Brown decided the better plan was to try for a first down and Caleb Williams’ pass was picked off.
The Bears had 179 yards of offense and their prized rookie QB was sacked seven times. There were a total of 23 first downs in the game played in the rain, which was no excuse for the awful play.
