The Chicago Bears can defeat the Seattle Seahawks by executing a well-rounded and strategic game plan that tackles both offensive and defensive challenges. To succeed offensively, the Bears must create a balanced approach, utilizing both the running and passing game to keep the Seahawks guessing. Quarterback Caleb Williams must make quick, smart decisions, protect the ball, and consistently connect with 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 stay disciplined to avoid giving up big plays, which has been a recurring issue for the team this season.
