The Story in 60 Seconds

Ryan Woodall's film review for Field Gulls analyzes how the Chicago Bears found offensive success against the Seattle Seahawks' defense during Monday's matchup. Despite Seattle dominating Chicago's first-down rushing attempts by holding them to 1.6 yards per carry, the Bears effectively converted second-and-long situations into manageable third downs using quick passes and combination blocks against Seattle's light defensive boxes.

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams particularly troubled the Seahawks by attacking the seam between the numbers and hashes, completing 17 throws for 170 yards in that zone. Williams also generated 110 yards on deep dig routes, capitalizing on Seattle's missed tackles and coverage cushions to sustain key drives.
