Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks will take the field against Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears on Thursday night.
The Seattle Seahawks will travel to Chicago, Illinois, on Thursday night in Week 17 of the NFL regular season. In Illinois, they will face off with the Chicago Bears at Solider Field. The Seahawks are just over the .500 mark heading into this week with an 8-7 record. They are one game behind the Los Angeles Rams for the lead in the NFC West. Those two teams are the only two with playoff hopes still alive as the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers have already been eliminated. They haven’t helped their chances recently either.
They have lost two straight games heading into this week after losing 30-13 against the Green Bay Packers and 27-24 against the Minnesota Vikings. Geno Smith has thrown for 3,937 yards and 17 touchdowns with 15 interceptions. Jaxson Smith-Njigba has exploded on the scene for Seattle this year. He has 93 receptions on 126 targets for 1,089 yards and six touchdowns.
The Bears have fallen to 4-11 on the season and, unlike Seattle, have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. After drafting Caleb Williams with the first overall pick last season, the hope in Chicago was that this season would go differently. However, he has just 3,271 yards and 19 touchdowns with five interceptions this year.
DJ Moore, another piece of the trade that landed them Caleb Williams, is his leading receiver with 826 yards and five touchdowns on 83 receptions. Rookie Rome Odunze follows Moore with 51 receptions on 95 targets for 701 yards and three scores. He averages 13.7 yards per reception which is the best on the team.
