Bears RB D'Andre Swift gets 'hard yards' - and 3 TDs - vs. Seahawks

Key Points:

• Bears running back D’Andre Swift scored three touchdowns in Chicago’s 34-17 victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks, despite averaging just 2.6 yards per carry and no runs longer than seven yards.
• Swift’s three touchdowns marked his second career game with that many scores and brought his season total to 10 rushing touchdowns through eight games, a feat not achieved by a Bears running back since 1956.
• The Bears’ strong running game helped control the clock and keep the Seahawks’ defense off balance, contributing to the league-best time of possession and enabling quarterback Caleb Williams’ improved performance.
• Swift’s workload increased in the absence of injured short-yardage back Kyle Monangai, with Swift scoring seven touchdowns in four games without him, ranking among the NFL leaders in touchdown runs this season.
• Coach Ben Johnson praised Swift’s perseverance and the offensive line’s efforts, noting the Bears’ improved red zone efficiency by scoring touchdowns on all four trips inside the Seahawks’ 20-yard line during the game.
