Chicago builds on a narrow halftime lead
D'Andre Swift ran for three touchdowns as the Chicago Bears beat the Seattle Seahawks 34-17 at Lumen Field in Week 8, adding another win to a stretch that includes victories over Atlanta and New England. Chicago led 7-0 after the first quarter but went into halftime ahead just 13-9. The Bears created separation with a 7-0 third quarter, then scored 14 more points in the fourth to finish the win. The result moved Chicago to 6-2. Seattle dropped to 4-4, taking its second loss in three games after beating Kansas City 20-3 in Week 7.
Swift supplies the touchdowns
Swift's workload and scoring carried Chicago's ground game. He finished with 27 carries for 69 yards and three touchdowns, plus two catches for 10 yards. The yardage was modest for that volume, but the touchdowns made him the game's most productive fantasy player. Caleb Williams completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards and a touchdown. Luther Burden III caught seven of nine targets for 56 yards and a score, while Rome Odunze led Chicago with 87 receiving yards on four catches. Colston Loveland added seven catches for 65 yards on nine targets, matching Burden in both receptions and targets.
Smith-Njigba leads Seattle
Jaxon Smith-Njigba delivered Seattle's biggest receiving performance, catching six of 11 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown. Sam Darnold completed 17 of 34 passes for 188 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, adding 20 rushing yards on two carries. Cooper Kupp's lone catch went for a seven-yard touchdown. Jadarian Price finished with 29 yards on 10 carries and caught two passes for eight yards.
Fantasy takeaways
Swift led the game with 27.9 PPR points, with his three rushing scores driving the return. Smith-Njigba followed at 23.8, pairing a game-high 11 targets with the only 100-yard receiving performance. Burden produced 18.6 PPR points through seven catches and a touchdown. Odunze contributed 12.7 without scoring, while Williams finished with 14.0 and Darnold posted 17.5.
