Monday Night Football
Chicago @ Seattle
Team Totals: Bears 21.5, Seahawks 24.5
The Bears travel to Seattle on 11 days’ rest for a potential NFC Championship preview following their Thursday night win over New England.
The last time Ben Johnson called plays against Mike Macdonald, the former’s Lions offense gained 7.7 yards per play for a 58% Success Rate — for comparison’s sake, both stats would rank first in 2026. Unfortunately, it’s Seattle’s turn on paper: Only the Chiefs (37%) use more play-action than this year’s Bears (35%), which the Seahawks have stumped for 5.5 yards per attempt (third) and the fewest fantasy points per dropback (per Fantasy Points Data). In operating Johnson’s offense, however, Caleb Williams never falls short of a fringe-QB1 rank (despite having a lower projected ceiling than usual). … It’s a similar trial for D’Andre Swift, who’s an RB2 for last week’s copy-and-paste share (93%) of the team’s backfield touches short Kyle Monangai (toe, out): The most rushing yards Macdonald’s defense has allowed since the 2025 season — a stretch of 27 games including the playoffs — was 91 to Kyren Williams. Swift can always fall forward for multiple scores for his team-high 12 carries (third) inside the 5.
