The Seattle Seahawks suffered a stunning defeat against the Chicago Bears, exposing major concerns on both offense and defense at Lumen Field. Offensive struggles mounted as new acquisitions like Quenton Nelson attempted to settle into the offensive line, while coordinator Brian Fleury’s heavy use of screen plays and lack of tempo left the unit disjointed. Sam Darnold's performance came under the spotlight—can he carry the team when things go off-script? Zach Charbonnet sparked hope with a healthy showing, while Jadarian Price's inability to break tackles raised questions about the run game. Defensive woes persisted, most notably inside the red zone as the Bears went a perfect 4-for-4, compounding a league-worst statistic for Seattle. Standout efforts from Chicago’s Rome Odunze showcased the secondary’s vulnerabilities, a stark contrast to Seattle’s shutdown of Patrick Mahomes last week. With red zone defense and offensive cohesion under scrutiny, will the Seahawks bounce back next week against Gardner Minshew and the Arizona Cardinals?
