Swift’s three touchdowns lift Bears past Seahawks

Chicago built a 13-3 lead in the first half, then answered Seattle’s late push to secure a 34-17 victory on November 2. The Bears improved to 6-2, while the Seahawks fell to 4-4. Chicago scored 14 points in the fourth quarter after Seattle had closed the gap to three.

Swift finished with 69 rushing yards on 27 carries and scored all three of his touchdowns after halftime. The Bears kept using him despite a difficult first half, when he had 26 yards on 11 carries. Coach Ben Johnson praised the running back’s work, saying the yards were hard-earned against a strong Seattle defense.

Caleb Williams completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards and a touchdown, without an interception. His scoring pass to Luther Burden III capped Chicago’s opening drive. Rome Odunze led the Bears with 87 receiving yards. Chicago also converted all four trips inside Seattle’s 20-yard line into touchdowns.

Seattle cut the deficit to 20-17 after a fumble recovery gave it a short field. Sam Darnold threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Cooper Kupp, then connected with Tory Horton for a two-point conversion. Chicago responded when Kalif Raymond ran 39 yards to set up Swift’s next score. James Lynch later intercepted Darnold, and Swift scored again from close range.

Darnold finished with 188 passing yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had 118 yards and a touchdown, leaving him at 985 receiving yards for the season. Swift reached 10 rushing touchdowns, the first NFL player to reach that total in 2026, and moved into eighth place on Chicago’s career rushing-touchdown list with 25.
