Caleb Williams and the 5-2 Chicago Bears visit the 4-3 Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football seeking their third straight victory. Williams has thrown for 300+ yards in two of the 2026 season's first eight games and looks to extend that streak, but Seattle's top-ranked pass defense limits opponents to just 144.4 yards through the air. The Seahawks allow only 189 yards passing to opposing quarterbacks this year, with Justin Herbert and Brock Purdy sharing the highest mark.
Chicago ranks third in total offense (390.7 yards per game) but will lean on their second-ranked rushing attack (154.3 yards). Seattle stands sixth against the run, allowing 89.4 yards on the ground. Overall, Seattle leads the league in total defense (233.9 yards allowed) and ranks third in points allowed (17.9).
Seattle is 12-6 all-time against Chicago and limited Williams to 122 yards in a 2024 meeting. The Seahawks are 3.5-point favorites with a solid "A" grade against the spread in 60% of simulations. Other Monday sports include a 15-game NBA schedule, a four-game NHL slate, and college basketball contests.
