Instead, you give it back to the Bears with a 1% Seahawks-esque chance to make the comeback instead of giving them 30 seconds to overcome an 11 point deficit.
I thought the same thing. A FG makes it a two score game and taking a knee three times basically would drain the clock.
That doesn't excuse the defense allowing Cutler to just walk right down the field in a minute. The rolling non-tackle by HaHa on the Bears TD was pathetic, but MM should have taken a knee three times.
