- 1d Gregg Bell (X) The return of Jadarian Price, Zach Charbonnet's season debut are no help for Sam Darnold. He throws another INT. The offense's continued woes leave defense exposed early, late by Bears. Seattle's 34-17 loss its most lopsided defeat since Dec. 2024. The champs are 4-4: @933KJR

- 1d Brad Biggs (X) James Lynch with an interception and the #Bears are really going to be able to pad the lead here. Sam Darnold has not looked comfortable in the pocket all night.
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) Great play-action fake by Sam Darnold, Jeffery Simmons thought it was a run, results in #Seahawks touchdown 7 yards to Cooper Kupp. His first catch tonight. 2pt play down 20-15: Darnold looks, looks--hits Tory Horton across end zone's back line. Seattle cuts Chicago's lead to 20-17, 11:46 left. All of DeMarcus Lawrence's hustle fumble play.
- 1d Brad Biggs (X) Sam Darnold off the play fake connects with Cooper Kupp for a 7-yard TD. On the 2-point conversion, Darnold finds Tory Horton. #Bears ahead 20-17, 11:46 remaining.

Sack of no-chance Sam Darnold ruins Seattle's 1st drive after halftime. Punting down 13-9. 35 yds on 9 carries, including Price 13y on 4 rushes. Charbonnet hasn't played since 3rd drive, which began late 1Q

Sam Darnold completes the pass for a 43-yard TD on the go route left sideline. Darnold yelling to his teammates on the sideline. Jason Myers misses the XPT. Bears lead 13-9 late 2Q
- 1d Adam Jahns (X) Another end-of-half fiasco for the Bears defense. Sam Darnold finds JSN vs. Tyrique Stevenson one-on-one: Easy TD.
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) 3rd & 6, Sam Darnold goes quickly to the checkdown to TE AJ Barner short as Jaxon Smith-Njigba had inside leverage and was running by the Bears LCB deep down the right slot. Once the cloud-covering safety saw how quickly Darnold checked down he left over the top of JSN. #Seahawks punt again, down 10-3
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) #Seahawks use 2 WR screens for 37 yds to Smith-Njigba to drive to Jason Myers field goal. Drive stalls inside the 10 on a run and 2 short passes quick to Zach Charbonnet. 3rd & goal from 15 curious how quickly Sam Darnold threw to Charbonnet short middle, as if the primary receiver, in tight cvg w LB Devin Bush on the RB's hip.
- 1d Brad Biggs (X) Tyrique Stevenson was pointing before that last snap as if he knew he was outnumbered. Simple throw by Sam Darnold to JSN at the line of scrimmage goes for 17 yards. Not a lot Stevenson could do that. He was outflanked.
- 1d Albert Breer (X) I’m surprised replay assist didn’t jump in on the Devin Bush hit on Sam Darnold. Seemed pretty clear.

- This #Bears team is so different. Last year they had to scramble to survive almost every week. This year they get in front of you and then just slowly choke the life out of you. They've done to two VERY good teams in back-to-back weeks.
The River 120 newest first
- You know it's probably a good sign when the fans of another team admit they're jealous of the #Bears. So what happens when it's the fans of multiple teams? That is apparently the new reality for Chicago.
- The #Bears have allowed 30+ points in just one of their last 7 games. The opponent needed 5 takeaways to do it. · Quoting Chris: @ErikLambert1 They have also had a pretty insane schedule - they aren’t playing weak offenses for the most part
- The #Bears are 8th in points allowed and 7th in total yards despite having played without arguably their best defensive back. · Quoting Coby Bryant: One week at a time! 🐻⬇️
- Dennis Allen made a significant change to the #Bears' defensive approach in Seattle. The results it produced could have massive long-term consequences. And the NFL should be very afraid of them.

- The Bears’ 34-17 throttling of the Seahawks – the reigning Super Bowl champs – wasn’t a statement win. This prime-time matchup wasn’t a measuring stick. Under Be Johnson, the Bears are here to break that freakin’ stick. My column for @CHGO_Sports.
- A couple from Ben ... On resilient Bears once again overcoming adversity: “When the pressure’s high, we want to be at our best and all three phases did that. I think you find out more about your identity as a team when you get put in those situations."
- 10. As fun as the Khalil Mack idea is for #Bears fans, the priorities have shifted ahead of the trade deadline. This team needs another body at cornerback. They're going to play some great passing attacks in the playoffs, and Simmons alone can't cover all of it.
- 2. It took Walter Payton 13 games to reach 14 TDs in 1977 and 16 in 1979. Gale Sayers did it in 14 games in 1965. D'Andre Swift has 10 rushing TDs in 8 games this year. #Bears

Seahawks vs. Bears: Caleb Williams faces toughest test yet in Seattle defense
26 more updatesfrom 14 sources
- 1d Kevin Fishbain (Bluesky) Via Bears PR... - Caleb Williams has the most passing yards in a QB's first three seasons in franchise history (8,750). - D'Andre Swift is the first Bear with 10+ rushing TDs in the first eight games since Rick Casares in 1956. - Bears lead NFL with 3,098 total yards.
- 1d Erik Lambert (X) Dealing with Caleb Williams the talent is bad enough for #Bears opponents. Now it looks like they may have to deal with Caleb Williams the leader. And that is a nightmare the NFL desperately wanted to avoid.
- 1d David Lombardi (X) 49ers and Bears are the two most balanced teams in the NFC right now and therefore the two best teams in the NFC. Last year, Brock Purdy vs Caleb Williams was already cinema and that was without several of the stars who’d suit up if SF and Chicago played in January year. Let’s hope both teams stay healthy because it would be must-see TV 🍿
- 1d Rotoworld Football (Bluesky) Caleb Williams does enough to down Seahawks in SEA
- 1d Ryan Wood (X) In a division loaded with wins, the Bears just got the first statement victory in the NFC North this season. With Caleb Williams and now Jeffery Simmons, they sure look like the team to beat in the NFC.
- 1d David Lombardi (X) All right, the money is down · Quoting David Lombardi: I love how Caleb Williams executed Ben Johnson’s methodical plan on Drive 1. But he’s going to have to hit a true kill shot down the stretch. Missed a great opportunity to Odunze there at the end of the first quarter. What happens when the money is down late is what ultimately matters — especially in Seattle
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) That set up the Bears' 2nd TD of the night, 1-yard run by D'Andre Swift. #Seahawks are down 20-9 with 20:38 left in the game at hushed Lumen Field. @933KJR · Quoting Gregg Bell: Rome Odunze down the middle of the field again after Caleb Williams escapes Leonard Williams said for 22-yard catch to #Seahawks 25.

Bears at the #Seahawks 28, leading Seattle 10-3 · Quoting Gregg Bell: Rome Odunze's 1st target is good for 18 yds from Caleb Williams late in the play down the middle, great catch on pass low and behind him with 4 mins left in the 2Q.
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) Rome Odunze's 1st target is good for 18 yds from Caleb Williams late in the play down the middle, great catch on pass low and behind him with 4 mins left in the 2Q.
- 1d Brad Biggs (X) Seattle just had a streak of 26 games without allowing an opening drive touchdown snapped. Bears marched 80 yards 17 plays in 8 minutes, 32 seconds. Offense was 3/4 on 3rd down & 1/1 on 4th down. Methodical march for 7-0 lead after Caleb Williams' 1-yd pass to Luther Burden.
- 1d Mina Kimes (Bluesky) Excellent drive by Caleb Williams that’s representative of how good he’s been this year. Accurate and decisive underneath to stay in manageable down and distance; makes the throw downfield while extending when he has to.

- 1d CBS Sports NFL Headlines Seahawks vs. Bears: Caleb Williams faces toughest test yet in Seattle defense
- What I saw, heard, thought of Bears 34, #Seahawks 17 here at hushed Lumen Field: Is this really who the defending champions are against the NFC’s top teams? Evidence is mounting this is indeed what their one-dimensional offense is. And their QB can’t succeed in one like this. @933KJR

- 1d Kevin Fishbain (Bluesky) Bears head coach Ben Johnson to the team in the post-game celebration: "We didn’t come here to make a statement. We came here to build something. And we’re just getting started."
- 1d David Lombardi (X) Seattle has struggled against screens this year. Entering the 49ers game, they were #29 in EPA/attempt allowed. Ben Johnson made the most of his extra chance after the delay of game · Quoting Dugar, Michael-Shawn: When you call a screen you hope it’s blocked up as well as this was. Big-time play by Chicago.
- 1d Larry Mayer (X) Kalif Raymond's play actually ruled a run because it came on a lateral. On next play, D'Andre Swift's 5-yard TD run gives Bears a 27-17 lead.
- 1d Larry Mayer (X) Huge turn of events for Bears. Looked like they would have to punt when D'Andre Swift was dropped for a 2-yard loss on third-and-4 from Seattle 39. But they were flagged for delay of game and play did not count. On next play, Kalif Raymond catches screen pass and races 39 yards.
- 1d Kevin Fishbain (Bluesky) Emphatic answer from the Bears. Kalif Raymond's 39-yard "run" on third-and-9 was something else. The second-and-11 precision pass to Colston Loveland was also critical to get that first first down. 6 plays, 56 yards in 3:18 Bears 27, Seahawks 17
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) The delay-of-game penalty changes the game. Instead of 4th and 9 after Emmanwori TFL, CHI's 3rd & 9 is a WR lateral Kalif Raymond takes 39 yards, to the 5. Bears score on next play to take a 27-17 lead over the #Seahawks with 8:28 left at hushed Lumen Field. @933KJR

- 1d Gregg Bell (X) Man, that was a clinic of a 1st drive by Bears offense. Converting on 3rd and 4th downs. Scheming to get Nick Emmanwori in traffic after catches. Going hurry-up in goal line, and #Seahawks defenders scrambling to get lined up. 7-0 Bears.
- 1d Gregg Bell (X) 3rd & 4 Bears convert by throwing a WR screen with WR Kalif Raymond running inside and picking off Nick Emmanwori with a bump in the slot to keep the #Seahawks dynamo from making the immediate tackle.

- @ByRyanWood The Bears are really good. Seattle definitely isn’t what they were when they won, but they are still formidable and especially in that building. All that said it’s Nov 2nd. A lot ballgame left.
- Hmmm a statement road win against a really good team in a prime-time setting (while contending; not some fluky upset)? Hard to say what the last one was for the Dolphins. My mind goes to ‘01 opener at Tennessee, ‘02 at Denver. Since that era, ‘08 and ‘16 playoff teams snuck under the radar and the peak McDaniel teams would always lose to the strong opponents. · Quoting Chaotic Neutral: @DavidFurones_ Statement win by the Bears. My Dolphins haven’t done something like that (on the road) for a long long time.

- Bears answer Seahawks, up lead to 27-17
- When you call a screen you hope it’s blocked up as well as this was. Big-time play by Chicago.
- Bears are +0.38 EPA on early-down passes which is the way to beat this Seattle defense. Don’t fall into the trap of running against their nickel. Expose it with neutral-down throws when the pass rush can’t pin its ears back
- Big-time win for the Bears if they hold on here to go into Seattle and get the W.
