The Chicago Bears traveled to Lumen Field to face the Seattle Seahawks for a Week 8 Monday Night Football matchup. Entering the contest, the Bears held a 5-2 record, while the Seahawks were 4-3. The game was identified by playoff simulators as a critical matchup for Seattle, as both teams were competing for similar wild-card positions in the NFC. Prior to the game, the Bears announced inactives including cornerback Malik Muhammad II, who was sidelined with a toe injury, though defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons was available. A secondary dispute involved Caleb Williams and the NFL regarding his footwear, as the league issued multiple fines to Williams for wearing Caddix cleats with unauthorized logos. Williams defended the choice, stating that the “Caddix SmartStuds technology provides essential safety benefits by reducing rotational torque to prevent injuries.” Seattle entered the game following a defensive performance where they held the Kansas City Chiefs to 3 points, though edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu was fined $17,911 for a horse-collar tackle during that game. The Chicago Bears secured a 34-17 victory, improving their record to 6-2, while Seattle fell to 4-4. Caleb Williams led an efficient offense, completing 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards and one touchdown, highlighted by a 17-play opening drive ending in a touchdown to Luther Burden III. D’Andre Swift was a decisive factor, recording three rushing touchdowns in the second half. Jeffery Simmons, making his team debut following a trade from the Tennessee Titans, recorded a ~~sack and~~ sack, six ~~tackles~~ tackles, and a tackle for loss against Sam Darnold. Defensive tackle James Lynch also contributed a critical fourth-quarter interception to help seal the win. The loss ended a 30-game streak for Seattle in which they had not lost by more than four points.
