A 40 yard Josh Brown field goal opened up scoring in the second half.

The first flag of the game (the first actual penalty anyway) was thrown on a bogus pass-interference call. There was contact, but it looked to me like it was just incidental contact within the first five yards. Bad call. Either that or I’m a partisan hack for the Seahawks

Grant Wistrom made up for the penalty with a sack of Grossman on the very next play. Then on third and 16, they Seahawks sacked him again.

The next flag thrown was a fifteen yard penalty against Chicago for “interference with the opportunity to make the catch” on the Chicago punt.

I guess the yellow cloth really did want to play in this game. The very next play was marred by yet another yellow hankie as Mack Strong moved too early.

The first half of the Seahawks - Bears game went pretty much like most Seahawks games. Missed tackles and dropped passes were the story.

On the first drive, the Seahawks just couldn’t stop the run. The Bears went up 7-0 early.

It wasn’t until the opening play of the second quarter that the Seahawks managed to score. The Bears came right back though on one play with a 63 yard touchdown pass.

A few plays later, and it was a dropped pass that wasn’t. Instead of dropping the ball, Darrell Jackson bobbled it, and bobbled it, and bobbled it, until finally as he was out of bounds, coming up with it looking like a waiter’s platter.

The field had a lot to do with the play too. The sod was soft, and there were a lot of stumbles, and more than a few divots and turned ankles, one of which took Mark Bradley out of the game, at least for the remainder of the first half as he was driven into the locker room on a cart.
