CHICAGO – The final home game of the season for the Chicago Bears was an offensive mess.

FINAL: Seattle 6, Chicago 3. Look away.

Here’s how we rated the Bears in their home finale against the Seattle Seahawks on a rainy Thursday evening.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams

It will never be clear how well Caleb Williams’ season would have gone had he had a normal season.

However, with his start on Thursday, Caleb Williams became the first Bears quarterback to start 16 games in a regular season since Jay Cutler in the 2009 season.

His stamina was impressive, even in a season where he took so many hits.

Degree: INCOMPLETE

Chicago Bears offense

The Seahawks’ defense allows 4.6 yards per rush, which is 10th-worst in the league. The Bears’ longest rush was a 16-yard scramble by Caleb Williams.

The Bears’ offense had 119 net yards and three total points through three quarters. It was another day of struggle for the Bears. But in the fourth quarter they had a chance to win the game.

Still, the offensive struggles were too much to overcome.

Degree: D

Chicago Bears defense

Montez Sweat had his first sack since November 24th. Even former Seahawk Darrell Taylor got his first sack since his two-sack game in Week 1. The defense allowed six points in the first half.

The pass rush was active. This allowed the Bears to limit Seattle’s passing game. They even got in on the turnover battle when Kyler Gordon forced and recovered a fumble.

However, the Bears have bent over a bit. Seattle was xx of xx on third down conversions. They moved the ball well.

Still, it’s difficult to be too critical of the defense. It never broke. On Thursday, the Bears didn’t trail by less than 13 points in the first half for the first time in over a month.

That’s thanks to the defense. They didn’t give Seattle a chance to advance.

Degree: B+

Chicago Bears nickel player Kyler Gordon

He made the biggest play of the night and proved he’s still a playmaker in this Bears’ defense.

The offense couldn’t capitalize.

Degree: A
