The Chicago Bears turned Monday night into a statement game, storming into Lumen Field and beating the Seattle Seahawks 34-17 on November 2, 2026, behind a second-half explosion from running back D’Andre Swift.
Swift carried the ball 27 times for 69 yards and punched in three touchdowns after halftime, repeatedly wearing down Seattle’s defensive front when the game was still in reach. The outburst powered Chicago to its third consecutive victory.
Quarterback Caleb Williams, now three straight wins into his return from a hamstring injury, went 24-of-34 for 247 yards and a touchdown, continuing his sharp form since coming back. The Bears improved to 6-2 with the win, while Seattle slipped to 4-4.
Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold finished 17 of 34 for 188 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, and was sacked three times. Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the Seahawks with six catches for 118 yards and a score, and Cooper Kupp scored his second touchdown of the season.
Seattle briefly threatened late when Tory Horton’s toe-tap two-point conversion pulled the hosts within 20-17, but Chicago slammed the door in the closing minutes. The game also ended Seattle’s run of 16 straight contests without allowing an opening-possession score, according to reports.
