Caleb Williams threw for 247 yards as the Chicago Bears defeated the Seattle Seahawks 34-17 on Monday night.
Caleb Williams led the Chicago Bears to a 34-17 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night at Lumen Field. The Bears' quarterback was extremely efficient, throwing for 247 yards with a touchdown pass and no turnovers whilst completing 71 per cent of his passes and taking just one sack. He became the first quarterback to eclipse 200 yards against Seattle's vaunted defence, which was allowing 233.9 yards per game before the match.
Defensive end Jeffery Simmons, acquired by Chicago from Tennessee the previous week in a trade involving two first-round picks, made an immediate impact in his debut. He recorded a sack on the opening drive, added another tackle for loss and finished with six tackles and a pass defensed. Chicago's defence held Seattle to 252 yards and forced the Seahawks to convert just one of 11 third-down attempts.
D'Andre Swift scored three short touchdown runs for the Bears, who improved to 6-2. For the Seahawks, quarterback Sam Darnold went 17 of 34 for 188 yards and two touchdowns, though an interception in the fourth quarter set up Swift's third score. The loss ended a 30-game streak for Seattle of not losing by more than four points, the fourth longest such streak in the Super Bowl era. The defending champions fell to 4-4 and lost for the third time in four games.
