Seahawks have a 'sense of urgency' after loss to the Bears

The Seattle Seahawks are treating Monday night’s 34-17 loss to the Chicago Bears as a wake-up call after dropping by double digits for the first time in nearly two years. At 4-4, coach Mike Macdonald said the urgency to improve is “high,” especially on offense, where Seattle managed just 252 yards and went 1-for-11 on third down. Quarterback Sam Darnold finished 17 of 34 for 188 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, but was sacked three times and threw five interceptions this game’s context, with 10 TDs and nine picks overall. The Seahawks also struggled to run—52 yards on 16 carries—and faced Chicago’s Jeffery Simmons, who recorded a sack, another tackle for loss, six total stops and a pass defensed.
