As snow flurries dissipated at Lumen Field, the Seahawks looked to close out their sixth win of the year. But multiple missed chances on offense and a lethargic defensive effort helped the Bears claw back from a 10-point deficit to pull off a shocking 25-24 win.

-2.9: That was Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson's EPA on nine dropbacks in the fourth quarter. Wilson completed four of eight passes for just 25 yards and was sacked once. 


2.3: Meanwhile, this was Bears quarterback Nick Foles' EPA on 14 dropbacks in the fourth quarter. While he was sacked three times, he completed seven of 11 passes for 99 yards, one touchdown and the game-winning two-point conversion. 


2: The Bears recorded just two pressures on Wilson during the fourth quarter, but both wound up being defining moments in the game. The first of which resulted in a sack by defensive end Robert Quinn, pushing the Seahawks back from the Chicago eight-yard line to the 21 before kicker Jason Myers missed a 39-yard field goal attempt. The other was by former Seattle first-round draft choice Bruce Irvin, who knocked Wilson to the ground as his final pass attempt of the afternoon sailed over receiver Tyler Lockett's head to effectively end the game. 


8:47: That's how much time the Bears possessed the ball in the fourth quarter. Overall, they won the time of possession battle 38:25-21:35. 


10: That's how many losses the Seahawks have in 2021—the most of any season during the Pete Carroll era. With two games left on the schedule, that number may grow even further.
