Coach Ben Johnson's Chicago Bears scored one of the most impressive wins of the 2026-27 NFL season in Week 8, beating Mike Macdonald's Seattle Seahawks 34-17 at Lumen Field on a night when Caleb Williams led the offense to a rare feat early. A huge field goal block continued the Bears' dominance as running back D'Andre Swift led the way with three touchdowns on the night.
The Bears possessed the ball just over 34 minutes compared to just over 24 minutes for the Seahawks while outgaining Mike Macdonald's team by over 100 yards, sending a message to the NFL that they are here to stay as Super Bowl contenders, if not the new favorites.
Swift finished with 27 carries for 69 yards and three touchdowns as the Bears' offense flexed its collective muscle against the Seahawks' overmatched defense.

Wide receiver Kalif Raymond helped put the game on ice as he took a swing pass 39 yards to set up Swift's final touchdown. The Bears are 6-2, second place in the NFC North, and riding high heading into November 8's home game against Todd Bowles and Baker Mayfield's Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Now a half-game behind the 6-1 Minnesota Vikings for first place, the feeling among Chicago fans is that Johnson's team is the best in the division. One game against the Vikings and two against the 5-2 Detroit Lions remain for Johnson's group, three games that could determine home field advantage throughout the NFC Playoffs.
Swift showed that the Bears are more than just Caleb Williams and his fleet of talented receivers, on a night when the Bears took the fight to defending champs, and appeared to have an awful lot of fun doing it.
