Pre season game 3, Chicago @ Seattle.

This was a higher scoring but non exciting game until the final few minutes! Offense quietly dominated the game start to end, but a defensive stop would be the play of the day.

Chicago went into halftime up 17-14, backup QB David Fales scrambling into the end zone with 6 seconds left on the clock.

Leading 21-17 from a Seattle backup QB Joey Rogers sneak (he threw for 223yds, 1TD 1INT) the Bears had just over 5 minutes on the clock, and one deep bomb from David Fales to RB Ka'Deem Carey had the Bears up 24-21 with 3 minutes left to go.

Seattle KR Christine Michael had a huge run back letting Seattle chew a little bit of clock near the Chicago 30 before tying up the game with a FG at 24. A botched squib kick out of bounds let Chicago have excellent field position with 9mph wind at their back, and they picked up two straight first downs before kicking a FG to go up 27-24 with 34 seconds left and Seattle out of time outs.

Chicago's attempt at a squib kick went better than Seattle's but I was able to run it back to about my own 40-43 yard line. 19 seconds remained and I was out of time outs. I was able to beat a cover 2 man on a vertical route and get a spike off before hitting a 41yd FG. (S.Hauschka went 2/3 on the day)

In OT, I went back to the run and quick plays to march down for a FG, before giving Chicago the ball back with the Seahawks up 30-27. Fales found a WIDE open Shaun Draughn over the middle, but LB KJ Wright caused a big hit fumble, recovered by Deshawn Shead, to end the game, Seattle holding on for the win.

Chicago had 276yds through the air, and 80 on the ground for 18 first downs, while Seattle went 86 on the ground, 283 via the sky, and tallied 22 first downs. (Seattle went 2/2 on 4th down)

We sit 3-0 in pre-season, which I'm fairly excited about. Last pre-season game is @ Oakland Raiders, looking to see which players make the final cut to start the year!
