Seahawks' Running Game Struggles in 34-17 Home Loss to the Bears
- On Monday, the Chicago Bears defeated the Seattle Seahawks 34-17 at Lumen Field, dropping Seattle to a 4-4 record. The Seahawks offense managed just 252 total yards in the loss.
- Lineup adjustments along the offensive front, including guard Quenton Nelson's debut and left tackle Charles Cross's absence due to ankle injury, hindered Seattle's rhythm. Seahawks running backs combined for just 61 rushing yards behind the reworked line.
- Bears defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, acquired before the matchup, dominated the line and generated constant pressure. Special teams miscues including a blocked field goal and a costly unnecessary roughness penalty by defensive end Mike Morris compounded Seattle's struggles.
- Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba recorded 118 receiving yards and a touchdown, accounting for 92 of Seattle's first-half offensive yards. Chicago's defense successfully neutralized him in the second half, limiting the offense's ability to sustain drives.
- Regrouping quickly, the 4-4 Seahawks prepare to host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday before traveling to Las Vegas to face the Raiders. Seattle must address offensive consistency and identity issues to remain competitive in the season's second half.
