Caleb Williams opened the scoring on the game’s first drive and finished the night as a model of efficiency, throwing for 247 yards and completing 71% of his passes as the Chicago Bears defeated the Seattle Seahawks 34-17 on Monday.
Williams avoided turnovers and was sacked just once while facing a Seattle unit often cited among the league’s stingiest. His composed outing helped the Bears improve to 6-2 on the season.
New arrival Jeffery Simmons provided a boost up front, recording a sack and six tackles as Chicago’s defense delivered when it mattered. The veteran presence on the defensive line drew praise after a performance described as the exact response the Bears needed.
Running back D’Andre Swift contributed heavily to the victory, rushing for three touchdowns to punctuate the Bears’ balanced attack.
The loss extended Seattle’s recent slump; the Seahawks have now dropped three of their last four games. The result leaves questions for the host side as they look to steady a season that has shown inconsistency.
