WASHINGTON -- Jason Myers kicked two field goals and the Seattle Seahawks defeated Chicago 6-3 in a defensive-dominated contest on Thursday to lift their NFL playoff hopes.Seattle&#x27;s Riq Woolen intercepted a desperation fourth-down pass by Chicago&#x27;s Caleb Williams with 11 seconds remaining to seal the Seahawks&#x27; triumph.Seattle improved to 9-7, second in the NFC West division behind the Los Angeles Rams (9-6), who will host the Seahawks on January 5 in the final game of the season -- one that could decide a playoff spot.The Rams, who visit Arizona (7-8) on Saturday, can clinch the division crown with a victory and at least three wins plus a draw this weekend from among Buffalo, Minnesota, Cleveland, San Francisco, Cincinnati and Washington.That would enable the Rams to seal the division crown and playoff berth on the basis of a &quot;strength of schedule&quot; tie-breaker advantage over Seattle.Myers kicked a 27-yard field goal to give Seattle an early 3-0 lead, but the Bears equalized on a 42-yard field goal by Cairo Santos with 2:32 remaining in the second quarter.Myers kicked a 50-yard field goal with 21 seconds remaining in the second quarter to give the Seahawks a 6-3 lead and it held to the end.Chicago made a final drive in the dying minutes, kept alive when a scrambling Williams threw a 14-yard pass to D.J. Moore on fourth down, but three straight incompletions led to the pickoff to seal the Bears&#x27; defeat, dropping Chicago to 4-12.&quot;The defense was tremendous,&quot; said Seattle quarterback Geno Smith. &quot;It was a hard-fought game. Our defense was lights out. They got the big play at the end there. They played great.&quot;Hours before kickoff, the Seahawks placed top rusher Kenneth Walker on injured reserve due to an ankle injury suffered in a Sunday loss to Minnesota.<div>© Agence France-Presse</div>
