One day after Christmas, the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears gifted us with football's equivalent to coal: punts. The teams combined for 13 of them in the Seahawks‘ uninspiring 6-3 win on Thursday Night Football as their playoff hopes hang by a thread.
The Bears dropped their 10th straight game after starting the season 4-2.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Few positives emerged from this game. Seahawks interior defender Leonard Williams was one of them, though, having secured six quarterback pressures, including two sacks. His 86.4 PFF overall grade this season would be a career high if it holds through Week 18.
