CHICAGO -- One month after clock-management problems against the Detroit Lions led to the firing of coach Matt Eberflus, the Chicago Bears sealed their 10th straight loss when timeout issues and no attempt at a potential tying field goal resulted in a 6-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks . Thursday's Seahawks-Bears matchup was one of two NFL games this season without a touchdown. Chicago totaled 179 yards of offense, its fourth-lowest output in 2024, and managed only a field goal in its final home game of the season.
Similar to how the Bears' loss to the Lions played out on Thanksgiving, Chicago trailed by three entering its final drive. The Bears took possession with 5 minutes, 12 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter at their 11-yard line with all three timeouts. Chicago ran six plays before facing fourth-and-inches from its 39-yard line when left guard Jake Curhan , who started in place of injured Teven Jenkins (calf), was flagged for a false start.
