NFL 2018-19 Week 2 Monday Night Football Review - Chicago Defense Hassles Seattle's Wilson All Night Long

Chicago Bears 24, Seattle 17 - -  Just like last week, Chicago dominated their opponents for the vast majority of the game, but then had to watch as that team rallied in the fourth quarter. Well, the Bears managed to hang on for the win, this time, and Seattle's comeback was never quite believable. Their defense was relentless, sacking Russell Wilson six times and frustrating him throughout the night. Still, the Seahawks were trying to rally, down only by a touchdown at 17-10 in the fourth, when Wilson threw a pick six to Prince Amukamara, who returned it 49 yards for the touchdown that essentially iced the game for the Bears. Wilson completed 22 of 36 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns, although he also had that one very costly pick six. Chicago's rising young quarterback, Mitchell Trubisky, had a decent day, completing 25 of 34 pass attempts for an even 200 yards, with two touchdowns as well as two interceptions. The Bears win puts them half a game back behind Green Bay and Minnesota, who tied, although the Bears are a game ahead of late place, winless Detroit. Seattle, meanwhile, remains winless along with Arizona in the NFC West, and already two games behind the red hot Rams in the NFC West, as well as a game behind the 49ers.
