Overview
- The Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks meet Monday night, Nov. 2, at 8:15 p.m. ET at Lumen Field and the game will air on ESPN with an alternate Manningcast on ESPN2 plus regional carriage in Chicago on WCIU.
- Seattle acquired Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson and Chicago added All‑Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons in the recent trade window and both players are expected to make their team debuts Monday night.
- Seattle said running back Zach Charbonnet practiced fully and is set to return from ACL surgery with a likely limited snap count, while the Bears ruled out running back Kyle Monangai and Seattle ruled out left tackle Charles Cross and returner Rashid Shaheed.
- The matchup pairs Seattle’s top-ranked total defense against a Bears offense led by Caleb Williams and those personnel swings are central to how each team will attack the line of scrimmage.
- Sportsbooks list the Seahawks as roughly a 3 to 3.5-point favorite with the over/under near 46.5 points and analysts and models differ on whether the game will be low scoring or tilt toward the over.
