What happened: Williams connected with Burden on a goal-line touchdown pass, executing a flood route concept against man coverage. The play design gave the receiver separation from defender leverage toward the sideline.

Why it matters: The scoring drive delivered an early 7-0 advantage on Monday night. Converting the opening possession rewarded an aggressive script focused on high-percentage throws and interior ball control.

By the numbers: 26 — Consecutive games Seattle had played without allowing an opening-drive touchdown prior to the score.

What to watch: Seattle looks to adjust its red-zone coverage against quick releases, while Chicago aims to protect the early advantage.
