Narrow Seattle win keeps slim playoff hopes alive

Jason Myers kicked two field goals as the Seattle Seahawks kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 6-3 victory against the Chicago Bears on a rainy Thursday night at Soldier Field.

The win means that the Seahawks now need the LA Rams to lose to the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday night. That would set up a winner-take-all finale between the Seahawks and Rams next weekend at SoFi Stadium.

Seattle sacked Bears quarterback Caleb Williams seven times, allowed just 179 total yards and grabbed a game-clinching interception in the final seconds.

Myers kicked a 27-yard field goal on the game’s opening drive and added a 50-yarder with 21 seconds left in the first half.

Defeat was a 10th consecutive loss for the Bears, with supporters booing the team off and calling for the team to be sold.

Quarterback Williams said: “This is my first year – their frustrations go way longer back than I’ve been here. My job is to go out there and win games.

“We don’t focus on the outside noise. The fans are going to cheer and, maybe, boo sometimes, and you can’t react to that. We have a job to do; some days you don’t do so well at the job, some days you play a great game.”
