Good morning, 12s. Here's a look at what's out there today — Monday, December 27 — about your Seattle Seahawks.
What's Being Said: Bears 25, Seahawks 24
In a season filled with excruciating losses, the Seahawks suffered maybe their toughest one yet on Sunday, blowing a 10-point second half lead in falling to the Chicago Bears, 25-24.
DK Metcalf scored a touchdown for the first time since Halloween on a 41-yard strike from Russell Wilson in the first quarter, and Rashaad Penny added another touchdown in the second quarter as part of his 135-yard day. Carlos Dunlap II continued his hot streak, recording 2.0 sacks after tallying 3.0 last week against the Rams, and Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks finished the game with 12 and 10 tackles, respectively. The Seahawks went into halftime with a 17-7 lead.

But the Bears' offense was able to generate momentum when it was needed, culminating in a six-play, 80-yard drive capped by a Jimmy Graham touchdown to bring the Bears within one with less than two minutes remaining. An incredible catch by Damiere Byrd on the two-point attempt gave the Bears a 25-24 lead, and the Seahawks answered with a turnover on downs on their ensuing drive that would end the game.
