Bears and Seahawks trade punts...

THIRD QUARTER

Bears lead the game 10-3 at the half.

A strip sack by Khalil Mack leads to a Seattle punt. The Bears offense needs to get going.

A tipped Trubisky pass is intercepted.

SECOND QUARTER

The Bears drive down the field and score on a shovel pass from Mitch Trubisky to Trey Burton.

Pretty play design. Shovel pass option (Matt Canada special). The Bears ran it with a mirrored formation. There's an option to flip the play to the other side based on the defensive movement following the pre-snap motion. pic.twitter.com/yQFyJjxDqg

Nice scramble to keep the chains moving.

Seattle moved the ball a bit, but the Bears’ D held and forced a punt. Tarik Cohen fair caught the ball inside the 5 yard line.

PREGAME

The Chicago Bears and the Seattle Seahawks each dropped their 2018 season openers, but they both had chances to win during the game. The Bears played dominating football early against the Packers, then lost the lead, but still had the ball late with a chance to win, and the Seahawks went back and forth against the Broncos before their last drive sputtered.

The winner of Monday night’s game will climb even at 1-1, while the loser limps to 0-2 and has their postseason odds plummet. In the last nine years, teams that started 0-2 only made the playoffs 5.6% of the time (6-of-108).
