Bears and Seahawks Square Off at Lumen Field in Preseason Battle

As the Chicago Bears prepare to visit Lumen Field for their upcoming preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks, fans are eager to see how their team will perform. The Bears have shown promising signs of growth and resilience in their recent games, which should carry over into this matchup.

In their last outing at Soldier Field, the Bears secured a hard-fought victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with a final score of 19-14. The defense was particularly impressive, recording four sacks and one interception while holding the Chiefs to just 14 points. This defensive prowess will be crucial as they face a Seahawks team known for its dynamic offense.


The offensive unit also displayed efficiency during that game, with two passing touchdowns contributing significantly to the win. Despite being sacked five times, they managed an average gain of 4.5 yards per play and maintained possession for over half an hour (32 minutes and 40 seconds). Their ability to control the clock could be a key factor against Seattle.

Special teams were reliable as well, with a perfect field goal percentage on two attempts and solid kickoff coverage that limited return yardage. Maintaining this level of special teams play will be important in setting up favorable field positions throughout the game at Lumen Field.


While it's only preseason action, each game provides valuable experience for players fighting for roster spots and gives coaches insight into potential lineup adjustments before regular-season play begins.


Fans can catch all the action from Lumen Field on August 19th via ESPN's broadcast network channel number 206. With kickoff scheduled at midnight UTC (August 18th local time), make sure not to miss any plays as we witness whether the Chicago Bears can continue building momentum heading into another exciting NFL season.
