In a decisive Week 8 matchup, the Seattle Seahawks topped the Chicago Bears with a final score of 35-12, solidifying their position in the playoff race. The Seahawks' victory was pivotal, showcasing their offensive firepower while the Bears struggled to keep pace throughout the game. Sam Darnold led the Seahawks with an efficient performance, throwing for two touchdowns while balancing the offense with a strong rushing attack led by Jadarian Price, who racked up 103 rushing yards. On the other side, Caleb Williams managed to throw for 249 yards but was unable to find the end zone, with Kalif Raymond being the standout receiver for Chicago, gaining 77 yards through the air. Defensively, the Seahawks were relentless, with Nick Emmanwori leading the charge with nine total tackles and adding an interception that shifted momentum. The turning point came in the second quarter when Emmanwori's pick set up a touchdown, pushing the Seahawks ahead and allowing them to control the game from that point on. Meanwhile, Austin Booker’s two sacks were a bright spot for Chicago, but ultimately, the defensive efforts of Seattle proved too much to overcome.
