The Chicago Bears defeated the Seattle Seahawks 34-17 on Monday night, November 2, 2026, at Lumen Field. The victory moves the Bears to a 6-2 record on the season, while the Seahawks fall to 4-4.
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams led an efficient offensive performance, completing 71% of his passes for 247 yards with no turnovers and taking only one sack. Williams threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Luther Burden III on the team's opening 17-play drive. He also threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Rome Odunze, who recorded 87 yards on four receptions.
Running back D’Andre Swift scored three touchdowns on short runs, including a 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that extended the Bears' lead to 20-9. The Bears' offense totaled 363 yards, with 237 of those yards coming through the air. This performance came against a Seattle defense that entered the game allowing 233.9 yards per game.
Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, who was acquired from Tennessee last week for a package including two first-round picks, made his first appearance for the Bears during the contest. Simmons recorded six tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss, and a pass defensed. The Bears' defense held Seattle to 252 total yards and limited them to one third-down conversion on 11 attempts.
Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold completed 17 of 34 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns. One touchdown was a 7-yard pass to Cooper Kupp following a fumble forced by DeMarcus Lawrence on Colston Loveland. Darnold's other touchdown was a 43-yard pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba just before the end of the second quarter. An interception by James Lynch in the fourth quarter set up one of Swift's touchdown runs.
The loss marks the third defeat for the Seahawks in four games and ends a 30-game regular season and playoff streak of not losing by more than four points. Despite recent trades, such as acquiring left guard Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts, and the return of players Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price from injury, the Seahawks' run game struggled, totaling only 81 yards.
