Seattle Seahawks claim first win of the season by shutting out Chicago Bears

The Seattle Seahawks crush the Chicago Bears in a 26-0 victory at CenturyLink Field to notch their first win of the campaign.

The Seattle Seahawks have secured their first win of the season by shutting out the Chicago Bears in a 26-0 victory at CenturyLink Field.

The Seahawks had a solid start to the game when Russell Wilson managed to move his side into field-goal range and Steven Hauschka fired his kick between the posts from 31 yards.

The home side continued to have the better field position of the sides, but their display on third down prevented them from adding to the scoreline as Jarvis Jenkins recorded two sacks of Wilson.

Bears quarterback Jimmy Clausen struggled to get into a rhythm as the Seahawks aimed to shut down the running game through Matt Forte, and the 27-year-old failed to bring his receivers into the match.

The Seahawks added a field goal just before the break when Wilson drove his side downfield, and although his two throws to Jimmy Graham fell incomplete, Hauschka added his second kick of the game to hand his side a six-point lead at half time.

Pete Carroll's men began the second half in perfect fashion when Tyler Lockett collected the kickoff and ran it all the way back down the left sideline for a 105-yard return touchdown.

Seattle extended their lead when Wilson dropped back and delivered a strike to Graham over the middle, and the tight end brushed off the tackle of Brock Vereen to find the endzone for a 30-yard score.

The Seahawks continued to dominate on offense in the fourth quarter, but the Bears managed to hold them out of the endzone as Hauschka was forced to kick two field goals to put the game beyond the reach of the visitors.

The home side ran out the clock to secure their first win of the campaign and move to 1-2 in their season, while the Bears slumped to their third defeat on the spin.
