Bears vs Seahawks – Road Underdog Wins – Game Total Goes Under – Final: 23-20

After exchanging touchdowns in the first quarter, Seattle RB Justin Forsett converted a nine-yard run to the end zone late in the half and the Seahawks never looked back.

Bears QB Jay Cutler got tossed around yet again after missing last week’s game to concussions and was sacked six times. The Seahawks couldn’t wait to get at him, and they proved it.

Cutler managed to complete just 17 of 39 passes for 290 yards. The Bears went 0-12 on third downs, and totalled only 61 rushing yards on the day.

Cutler’s counterpart Mass Hasselbeck had a season-high 242 yards and a touchdown, completing 25 of 40 passes. His performance was complemented by receivers Mike Williams and Deon Butler, who scored a touchdown each.

All units showed up for Seattle in a much-needed road win against the team that was tied for the league’s top record (4-1).
