Seahawks Fall 34-17 to Bears in Home Loss

The Seattle Seahawks fell to the Chicago Bears 34-17 at home, slipping back into the loss column. Chicago’s offense overwhelmed Seattle, with D’Andre Swift scoring three touchdowns in the second half to secure the victory. The Bears’ performance was enough to keep Seattle playing from behind for the entire game.

Running Backs Return

Both rookie Jadarian Price and veteran Zach Charbonnet returned to the field for the Seahawks after recent injuries. Charbonnet made his 2026 debut after recovering from a torn ACL sustained during last season’s playoffs. He carried the ball six times for 23 yards and caught three passes for six yards.

Price handled 10 carries for 29 yards and added two catches for eight yards. The Seahawks’ offensive strategy shifted heavily toward passing as they trailed for most of the contest, limiting the impact of the backfield. This shift prevented the team from establishing a rhythm on the ground, making it difficult to control the clock. The team will likely look to establish a more balanced attack in future weeks.

Third-Down Struggles

Third down proved difficult for Seattle, as they converted only one of 11 attempts. The Seahawks frequently stuffed the running back on first and second down, forcing long-yardage situations. Play calling became predictable, contributing to the offensive stagnation.

Turnovers Continue

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw his ninth interception in the last six games, a concerning trend as the season progresses. His awareness on the field has been inconsistent, and his ball placement felt off against the Bears. The turnovers have become a recurring issue for Seattle.
