The Chicago Bears host a Monday Night Football matchup at Seattle that pits a 5-2 team on a two-game winning streak against the Seahawks’ top-ranked defense.
The Story
The Chicago Bears visit the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night for NFL Week 8, kicking off at 7:15 p.m. CT.
Chicago enters the game at 5-2 and has won two straight since quarterback Caleb Williams returned from a three-game absence. In those victories over Atlanta and New England, the star quarterback threw for 613 yards.
The Bears’ offensive production has continued under offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, with their attack ranking third in yards (390.7 per game) and eighth in scoring (25.7 points) even after Williams missed three games.
Seattle counters with the NFL’s No. 1 defense, allowing 233.9 yards per game for the second straight season, and ranking fourth in points allowed at 17.9 per game.
On offense, the Seahawks have leaned on the Sam Darnold–Jaxon Smith-Njigba connection, described as producing standout results.
The Seahawks are listed as 3-point favorites at home. Pro Picks, which began the week with a win when the Packers beat the Panthers 27-19 on Thursday night, is projecting a Seahawks win 24-20.
