Chicago Bears 27 vs. 11 Seattle Seahawks summary: stats and highlights | NFL Preseason

The Chicago Bears got their second win of the preseason with a dominant performance over the Seattle Seahawks from Lumen Field. Trevor Siemian came on after the first series and helped extend the lead to a three possession game before halftime before clocking at the break.

Fields gets a series

Justin Fields started the game off under center, like he did in the first game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bears QB1 drove his side all the way down the field on the opening possession of the game setting up a field goal after going 5-7 for 39 yards.

That would be the only action of the night for Field, as Trevor Siemian came in for the rest of the second half. Velus Jones Jr. set up his first drive with a fantastic punt return to put the Bears in SEA territory. A long run from Derrynton Evans and a couple Siemian completions set up two yard touchdown pass to rookie Jake Tonges to make it 10-0 early in the second quarter.

Drew Lock tested positive for Covid earlier this week, and was ruled out for the game against the Bears, which meant Geno Smith was going to get a healthy portion of the night’s snaps. He played the entire first half, but the Seahawks offense was for the most part toothless going three and out on three different possessions.

Smith in spotlight with Lock out

Smith orchestrate one drive where the Seahawks had a chance to score after a 41 yard pass to Penny Hart. His next throw was almost identical to his deep shot down the sideline to Hart, but Dareke Young couldn’t make the catch and the drive fizzled when Jason Meyers missed a 47 yard field goal.

Diaster struck for the Seahawks right before the halftime break when the Bears were forced to punt, and Cade Johnson muffed the punt inside the five yard line only to have it recovered by Elijah Hicks for a touchdown to make it 17-0 at the half.

Seven three and outs for Seahawks

The Seahawks offense struggled all night, going three and out seven different times, including four times in the second half under Jacob Eason. Eason did ease into the game, going 17/35 for 141 yards, but much of those yards came in the fourth quarter.

Seattle did get a consolation touchdown right before the Two Minute Warning when Darwin Thompson scored on an eight yard touchdown run up the gut. Even though the game was essentially in the books, the Seahawks recovered the ensuing onside kick, but the Seahawks would not score again.

Geno was the starter in Pete Carroll's eyes before the first preseason game, will he be the starter tongiht as well?

Odds

According to Bet365.com,  Seahawks are a 3.5 point favorite coming into tonight and the Over/Under is set at 39.5. I like the Seahawks tonight when I think about Drew Lock and Geno Smith getting snaps for the majority, if not all game. The Seahawks need reps with their first and second team with each quarterback, and I think that will serve them well tonight. Justin Fields will get a quarter, maybe a little more tonight and while the Bears have capable back ups in Trevor Siemian and Nathan Peterman I think Seattle takes it at home tonight.

DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett DNP in first game

DK Metcalf’s new deal with the Seattle Seahawks was one of the headlines in an offseason that wide receivers got paid big bucks. The Seahawks number one receiver got a three year extension worth $72 million. Metcalf did not play in the game against the Steelers last week, and neither did Tyler Lockett who had 1,175 yards and eight touchdowns last year,

David Montgomery missed the opener

David Montgomery was the Bears starting running back last year, rushing for 849 yards and seven touchdowns, but averaged just 3.8 yards per game in a season that was shortened by a knee injury in October.  He also had 42 receptions for 301 yards making him a solid option for young QB Justin Fields. Montgomery didn’t play in the game against the Chiefs, and there is still no word about his status tonight.

Drew Lock

Lock came in the trade with the Broncos that sent Wilson to Denver. He never made enough of an impact to be the irreplaceable starter in the Mile High City. He comes to Seattle with something to prove after three seasons in Denver. His highest season output was in 2020 when he threw for 2,933 yards, 16 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He and Geno Smith split snaps and in his time on the field went 11/15 and there two touchdowns.

Seattle QB competition

Drew Lock and Geno Smith are locked in one of the most unpredictable quarterback competitions of the preseason. Russell Wilson’s departure has left a deep void in the Seahawks offense. While Drew Lock and Geno Smith may not be the quarterbacks of the distant future, the are the quarterbacks available this season. Russell Wilson seems happy in his new home, but will Seahawks fans be happy with who is under center at Lumen Field?

Justin Fields starting season as QB1

Justin Field is the Chicago Bears starting quarterback. There may have been more than a hint of a doubt last year when he split time with Andy Dalton for parts of the 2021 season. He took over the full time starting gig in early October, and had his ups and downs in a season where Chicago went 6-11 but he showed flashes of what he’s capable of. He started the game against the Chiefs and went 4/7 for 48 yards in a quarter of action. Those stats won’t drop any jaws, but we should see him a good bit tonight.

Chicago’s last game

The Bears went down 14 after two scoreless quarters to start the game. Trevor Siemian led the comeback charge, going 7/13 for 89 yards and two touchdowns in a 16-0 third quarter for Chicago. A fourth quarter field goal sealed the deal for the Bears who started their preseason slate with an opening week win in the preseason.

Seattle’s last game

Not much is expected from Seattle this season after losing their face of the franchise over the last decade, Russell Wilson. They started off their 2022-23 season with a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in a shootout over the weekend. Many, but not all of their first stringers were in for a few series for the first quarter in which they allowed 14 points. That was enough to keep the Steelers in the lead for the rest of the way.

We are live from Lumen Field

Hello everyone and welcome to Seattle where the Bears and the Seahawks are set to start their second preseason prep game. Seattle is coming off of an opening week loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in a game where their two candidates for the starting quarterback job got substantial time. The Bears beat the Kansas City Chiefs 19-14 thanks to a big second half.
