Welcome to Chicago, Jeffery Simmons.<\/p>\n
Simmons had a dominate debut with the Bears, who acquired him from the Titans on Thursday. He made a team-leading six tackles, with a sack, a pass defensed and two tackles for loss, and the Bears limited the Seahawks to 252 yards.<\/p>\n
The Bears rolled to a 34-17 victory over the Seahawks on Monday night.<\/p>\n
Chicago is 6-2, and the defending champions fell to 4-4.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks didn\u2019t help their cause, with three unnecessary roughness penalties in the second half, including two on special teams. Kicker Jason Myers missed an extra point and had a 33-yard field goal blocked.<\/p>\n
Sam Darnold threw an interception on a pass tipped by Austin Booker and picked by James Lynch, who returned it 16 yards to the Seattle 6. The Seahawks quarterback was sacked three times and hit six, including a sack and three quarterback hits by defensive lineman Montez Sweat.<\/p>\n
Darnold never seemed comfortable against Simmons, Sweat and the Bears defense, as the Seahawks went 1-for-11 on third down.<\/p>\n
Star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba kept Seattle in it in the first half and finished with six receptions for 118 yards and a touchdown. Darnold was 17-of-34 for 188 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks had five three-and-outs and five punts against Dennis Allen\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n
The Bears gained 363 yards against the Seahawks vaunted defensive unit, with Caleb Williams going 24-of-34 for 247 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n
D\u2019Andre Swift had second-half touchdown runs of 1, 5 and 5 and finished with 27 carries for 69 yards. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to Chicago, Jeffery Simmons.
