The Bears' first drive of the game was a 17-play, 80-yard drive that ended in a touchdown, marking the first time the Seahawks have allowed a score on an opening possession in 27 games
Bears take early lead with Swift touchdown; key plays by Swift, Santos, Odunze, Williams, Burden, and injury to Leonard Williams
Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons made his Bears debut on Monday night, while left guard Quenton Nelson made his Seahawks debut. The teams traded for what they considered a missing piece last week. Simmons has had an immediate impact with five tackles, a sack and two tackles for loss. The Bears held the Seahawks to six first downs and 114 yards, most of it coming on the final drive of the half, and allowed Seattle to convert only 1-of-6 third downs. Seahawks punter Michael Dickson was busy, with four punts. The Bears lead 13-9 at halftime. Chicago’s opening possession went 80 yards in 17 plays and lasted 8 minutes and 32 seconds, the Bears’ 11th drive of 5-plus minutes this season. Luther Burden scored on a 1-yard touchdown reception. Cairo Santos kicked field goals of 44 and 38. The Bears had 208 yards, with Caleb Williams going 17-of-25 for 165 yards and a touchdown. Luther Burden has six catches for 53 yards and a touchdown, but D’Andre Swift has only 26 yards on 11 carries. Star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has kept the Seahawks in it, with 92 yards and a touchdown on four catches. The Seahawks trailed 13-3 when Smith-Njigba caught a 43-yard touchdown pass with 30 seconds left in the half. Jason Myers, though, missed the extra point. He kicked a 27-yard field goal early in the second quarter. The Seahawks had only 29 yards on four drives in their first half to go with scoring drives of 45 and 71 yards. Sam Darnold is 7-of-15 for 94 yards and a touchdown. Jadarian Price has four carries for 13 yards in his return, and Zach Charbonnet has three carries for 7 yards in his 2026 debut. Price and Charbonnet are the only other players with a reception besides Smith-Njigba, combining for three receptions for 2 yards
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze remains a volatile WR3 for Monday's road bout with the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Odunze's boom-bust nature in 2026 has leaned far more toward the latter than the former over seven weeks. He's out there for a ton of snaps, which works in his favor. However, the third-year pro isn't afforded the same layup targets as teammate Luther Burden III and tight end Colston Loveland. Instead, his routes take a bit longer to unfurl downfield, leaving him on the outside looking in for fantasy more often than not. In Week 9, he'll face a staunch Seattle pass defense that will prove to be his toughest test of the campaign thus far. Odunze will always have the chance to be a productive asset for owners because of his role in a high-powered attack and his chemistry with quarterback Caleb Williams when the play breaks down. Still, the quality of talent around him has lowered his overall ceiling, and the strength of his opposition is enough to make him a riskier option than usual. The Utah native is RotoBaller's PPR WR32 for Monday's outing
Colston Loveland (neck) has been cleared to play in Week 8 against the Seahawks, removing him from the injury report. He has been a reliable target for Caleb Williams recently, recording 21 catches, 210 yards, and two touchdowns in his last four games, making him a mid-range TE1
Rome Odunze's target share has decreased, affecting his fantasy value
Week 8 is here, and the trade deadline is creeping closer. This week’s trio fits the mood. One young receiver is straining against his leash. One franchise might be ready to sell off its whole arsenal. And one backfield has turned into a cemetery. In this Stats & Vibes Week 8 edition, let’s see if the vibes match up with the numbers. Caleb Williams recently called Luther Burden a “problem child.” Honestly, I kind of love that. When I look at Burden, I see a dude with some serious dark-side potential — like Anakin Skywalker. We’ve already seen the flashes: the explosiveness, the playmaking, and the knack for turning a routine touch into something special. The numbers back it up, too. JJ Zachariasson called this out in his Data Dump: among receivers with at least 300 routes run since the start of 2025, Burden ranks fourth in yards per route run. He also sits inside the top 20 in targets per route run. So the talent is absolutely there; we’re just still waiting for the full unlock. Luther Burden’s 2026 Explosive Play Rating That’s where the Anakin comparison really kicks in. Anakin was one of the most powerful Jedi ever. Even so, Obi-Wan and the Jedi Council kept trying to hold him back. They tried to control him, keep him in line, and squeeze him into their system instead of letting him reach his full potential. Chicago’s coaching staff is playing the Council right now. Through seven games, Burden is averaging under a 61% snap share and a not-so-nice 69% route share. Those snap counts are capping his ceiling. We get glimpses of what he can do, but never a full look at what happens when this dude gets unleashed. When the glimpses do come, they’re absurd. Last game, Burden caught all four of his targets for 130 yards and a touchdown. That’s Anakin taking out Count Dooku in Revenge of the Sith . The whole fight barely got any screen time, and it was over before you could blink. Minimal usage, maximum damage. That’s what makes him so intriguing in dynasty. You’re betting the leash eventually comes off. Sooner or later, the coaches have to figure out how to get him on the field and get the ball in his hands. If that happens, we might be looking at a completely different asset. The Jedi Council thought they could keep Anakin under control. Look how that turned out. From a team that won’t unleash its weapon, we move to a team that might sell all of theirs. The Indianapolis Colts are Yuri Orlov from Lord of War . Yuri doesn’t need to win the war. He just needs to make sure everybody fighting it needs something he has. Right now, the Colts aren’t winning much of anything. They’re 2-5, and somehow that’s still good for second in the division. If they needed a reality check, losing to the lowly Titans probably delivered it. This team isn’t a force to be reckoned with this year. The offense explains a lot. PFF ranks it 24th in overall offensive grade. Daniel Jones has completed 59.6% of his passes for 1,398 yards, with four touchdowns and seven interceptions. Not surprisingly, no Colts receiver has topped 85 yards in a game all season. Daniel Jones Week 7 Passing Chart. He was 2/4 INT on passes beyond 10 yards. pic.twitter.com/iVXjswfE6H — Cody Manning (@CodyTalksNFL) October 26, 2026 Instead, Jonathan Taylor has been the offense. He’s racked up 765 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns. He’s been a monster, but defenses have figured out that he’s the engine. Now they’re stacking the box to stop him. It isn’t for lack of talent, either. Indy’s roster is full of proven veterans who can swing a game. DeForest Buckner (32) is a three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle. Quenton Nelson (30) has eight Pro Bowls at guard. Keenan Allen (34) has six at receiver, and Taylor (27) has three. The Colts have already dealt two of them (Nelson and Buckner), and the November 10 deadline is right around the corner. That’s how I’m looking at Indianapolis. They might care more about the next fight than the one they’re in now. Meanwhile, plenty of [... truncated ...]
Rome Odunze secured 4-of-5 targets for 69 yards in Thursday's 30-24 win over the Patriots. Odunze seems to still be third in the pecking order of Bears pass catchers behind TE Colston Loveland and fellow wideout Luther Burden. Still, Odunze turned in a solid effort Thursday night. Over the last two games with QB Caleb Williams back at the helm of the offense, Odunze has come up with 7-of-9 targets for 108 yards. The third-year pro has 24 receptions with an average of 15.9 yards per catch through seven games
The Bears honored Mike Ditka pregame. They honored him with a win, too. Chicago led from start to finish — though it made things interesting all night — and held off the Patriots 30-24. The Bears are 5-2 and the Patriots 4-3. Bears kicker Cairo Santos made a career-long 58-yard field goal with 1:34 remaining to give Chicago a two-score lead. It came one snap after Caleb Williams inexplicably took a 10-yard sack on third-and-5 at the New England 30. It appeared to push the Bears out of field-goal range, but Ben Johnson trusted his kicker, who missed earlier from 53 off the right upright. The Patriots quickly got in field-goal range, and Andy Borregales kicked a 47-yard field goal with 37 seconds remaining. Trailing by six, the Patriots tried an onside kick, but Rome Odunze recovered for the Bears. The Bears led 10-0 early and 20-7 with 14 seconds left in the first half but allowed a last-play touchdown to the Patriots as Rhamondre Stevenson scored on a 48-yard catch-and-run. It was back and forth until time ran out on the Patriots. Chicago outgained New England 405 to 380 as Williams went 22-of-33 for 308 yards and two touchdowns. Luther Burden caught four passes for 130 yards and a touchdown, all in the first half, and four other receivers had at least three catches. D’Andre Swift had 22 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown. Drake Maye was 24-of-31 for 321 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He also ran for 26 yards and a touchdown on four carries. Stevenson had five catches for 93 yards and a touchdown and ran for 22 yards on six carries. A.J. Brown, after his three-drop game on Sunday, had three receptions for 48 yards

D’Andre Swift took a hit on his knee on a third-down play for no gain on the Bears’ second possession. He scored a touchdown on their third possession. Swift’s 4-yard touchdown run has the Bears leading the Patriots 10-0. Luther Burden had big catches on both of the Bears’ scoring drives. His 26-yard reception to the New England 28 set up Cairo Santos’ 43-yard field goal. He nearly scored a 62-yard touchdown two drives later, but Kevin Byard tackled him at the New England 4 to set up Swift’s touchdown. Burden has two catches for 84 yards.
