Caleb Williams will suit up for the Chicago Bears against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17 of the 2024 NFL season. The matchup is scheduled for Thursday, December 26, 2024 at 8:15 p.m. ET at Soldier Field. As the Bears’ rookie quarterback and No. 1 draft pick, Williams will face the Seahawks’ pass defense, which ranks 16th in the league and allows an average of 213.9 yards per game.

In a disappointing rookie season with the Chicago Bears, Williams showed potential as the No. 1 overall pick despite significant challenges. The team’s eight-game losing streak highlights the difficulties the team has faced, but Williams has had standout moments, such as a 334-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Lions. While he leads the NFL in sacks and has struggled with accuracy issues, he has stood out for his resilience, avoiding interceptions in nine straight games and recording four 300-yard performances. Amid a difficult season, Williams remains a promising cornerstone for the Bears’ future.

The Chicago Bears can defeat the Seattle Seahawks by implementing a comprehensive and strategic game plan that addresses both offensive and defensive challenges. To be successful offensively, the Bears must develop a balanced approach and utilize both the running and passing games to keep the Seahawks guessing. Quarterback Caleb Williams must make quick and smart decisions, protect the ball and consistently get to key targets like DJ Moore and Cole Kmet.

Defensively, the Bears need to pressure Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith and disrupt their offensive flow. A relentless pass rush from players like Montez Sweat and timely turnovers will be crucial. The secondary must remain disciplined to not give up big plays, which has been a recurring problem for the team this season.
