Jeffery Simmons stellar in Bears debut: Winners, losers of Chicago's rout of Seahawks

The Chicago Bears delivered a commanding 34-17 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football, a performance that underscored their growing competitiveness in the NFC North. The win improved Chicago’s record to 6-2, putting them within striking distance of the division lead, while Seattle dropped to 4-4 after their first loss of 2026 by more than three points.

Jeffery Simmons made an immediate impact in his Bears debut, recording six tackles, two tackles for loss, and a sack while wearing the iconic No. 99 jersey.

His strong performance mirrored the Bears’ defensive upgrade, as their ninth-ranked unit looks poised to elevate their play. Quarterback Caleb Williams, now 3-0 since returning from injury, became the first QB to surpass 200 passing yards against Seattle’s elite defense this season, also leading the Bears’ offense with five receivers making multiple catches.

Meanwhile, Cooper Kupp scored his first regular-season touchdown with the Seahawks since 2019, adding a bright spot for Seattle’s struggling offense. The San Francisco 49ers, meanwhile, extended their division lead to 2½ games after their bye week, solidifying their position atop the NFC West.
