The second week of the preseason is just beginning for the rest of the NFL but for the Chicago Bears, it’s already concluded with a victory in hand. The Bears traveled to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Seattle Seahawks and made quick work of their opponents on a short week, winning 27-11.
The Bears starting offense only played one series, netting three points before they gave way to the reserves. But it didn’t matter who was on the field because the Bears capitalized at every turn, whether it was offense, defense, or special teams. It wasn’t until the very end that Seattle mounted any sort of comeback, but it was far too late to spoil a win.
Because the starters on both sides saw limited playing time, it can be difficult to find key takeaways but there was more than enough to dissect. Here are our takeaways from Thursday’s win.
