CHICAGO BEARS AT SEATTLE SEAHAWKS — 8:15 p.m., ESPN

Records and odds: Chicago is 5–2; Seattle is 4–3. Seattle -3, with a 46.5 total and moneylines of Seattle -166/Chicago +140. Spread pricing varies by listing.

This is a particularly interesting matchup because Chicago’s recent offense looks stronger than its full-season numbers, while Seattle’s defense has consistently controlled opposing passing games. Williams’ return raises Chicago’s ceiling, but playing at Lumen Field against Mike Macdonald’s disguised coverages is a substantial step up in difficulty.

Last three games

Chicago:

• October 11: Lost at Green Bay, 31–7.
• October 18: Won at Atlanta, 31–23.
• October 22: Beat New England, 30–24.

The Bears are 2–1 over their last three, averaging 22.7 points and allowing 26.0. Those averages require context: Williams returned for the two victories. Chicago also has extra preparation time after playing on Thursday night.

Seattle:

• October 11: Lost to San Francisco, 32–29.
• October 15: Lost at Denver, 17–14 in overtime.
• October 25: Beat Kansas City, 20–3.

The Seahawks are 1–2 over their last three, averaging 21.0 points and allowing 17.3. Their latest victory was their strongest defensive statement of the season.  

Last-game recaps

Chicago 30, New England 24: Williams completed 22 of 33 passes for 308 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Luther Burden III produced 130 yards on four receptions, while D’Andre Swift carried 22 times for 78 yards. Chicago generated 405 total yards, but New England’s passing production showed that the Bears still have vulnerabilities through the air.  

Seattle 20, Kansas City 3: The Seahawks handed Kansas City its first loss behind a dominant defensive performance. Sam Darnold finished 20 of 28 for 257 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught nine passes for 150 yards, and Emanuel Wilson rushed 24 times for 100 yards, including a fourth-quarter touchdown that helped finish the game.  

Quarterback matchup

Chicago — Caleb Williams: 88-of-124 passing, 71.0%, 1,020 yards, five touchdowns, one interception and a 105.6 passer rating. He also has 128 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.

Williams has thrown for 305 and 308 yards in consecutive starts, without an interception in either game. His mobility can extend drives, but Seattle will try to turn those extensions into sacks by keeping its coverage intact. Getting the ball out on schedule will be crucial.

Seattle — Sam Darnold: 110-of-177 passing, 62.2%, 1,290 yards, eight touchdowns, eight interceptions and an 80.5 rating. He has added 52 rushing yards. The interceptions are the clearest concern, particularly against a Chicago front receiving reinforcements.  

Offense/Defense

The published pregame statistical set lists these per-game averages:

Chicago offense: 390.7 total yards, including 236.4 net passing and 154.3 rushing; 25.7 points. The passing figure is calculated from the listed total and rushing averages.

Chicago defense: 313.4 total yards allowed, including 225.9 passing and 87.6 rushing; 20.4 points allowed.

Seattle offense: 343.3 total yards, including 229.6 net passing and 113.7 rushing; 24.0 points.

Seattle defense: Approximately 233.9 total yards allowed, including 144.4 passing and 89.4 rushing; 17.9 points allowed.

Key injuries and personnel updates

Chicago:

• RB Kyle Monangai — Out, thumb/toe. His absence removes an efficient complement to Swift.
• TE Cole Kmet — Season-ending knee injury. Chicago loses an important blocker and receiving option.
• CB Malik Muhammad — Questionable, toe.
• LB D’Marco Jackson — Questionable, ankle.

Chicago also expects DT Jeffery Simmons to make his Bears debut following his acquisition from Tennessee, while DE Montez Sweat returns from suspension. These are meaningful additions against a Seattle line missing its starting left tackle.  

Seattle:

• LT Charles Cross — Out, ankle. The most consequential Seattle absence.
• WR Rashid Shaheed — Out, knee.
• RB Velus Jones Jr. — Out, hamstring.
• OLB Uchenna Nwosu — Doubtful, ankle.
• G Anthony Bradford — Questionable, knee.
• QB Drew Lock — Questionable, right elbow.
• LB Patrick O’Connell — Questionable, toe.
• DT Brandon Pili — Questionable, back.
• RB Zach Charbonnet — Cleared to return following ACL rehabilitation.
• RB Jadarian Price — Medically cleared, but activation from injured reserve is still required to play.

Weather Forecast about 65 F, partly sunny; 

2025 season matchup Sep. 7, 2025: Buffalo Bills 41, Baltimore Ravens 40.

Quarterback matchup

BAL Lamar Jackson: 68/96 (70.8%), 967 passing yards, 6 TD, 1 INT, 119.6 passer rating; rushing 19 carries, 144 yards, 1 TD. Tyler Huntley: 74/106 (69.8%), 727 passing yards, 4 TD, 1 INT, 97.5 passer rating; rushing 18 carries, 76 yards, 1 TD.

Jackson is questionable after missing three games with an ankle injury, although he practiced fully Thursday and Friday. His return would change Baltimore’s designed-run and scramble threat. Huntley’s season line is included as the fallback.

Offense and defense

Baltimore Ravens: Offense 24.1 points, 383.7 total yards (242.0 passing / 141.7 rushing). Defense allows 23.9 points, 331.7 total yards (235.1 passing / 96.6 rushing).

Buffalo beat Las Vegas 33-30 on October 18 before its bye. Allen threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. James Cook’s late touchdown and a subsequent Tyler Bass field goal created the margin the Bills needed to survive a late Raiders score. Team box score: 345 total yards, 103 rushing, 0 turnovers.

Key injuries and availability

Baltimore: QB Lamar Jackson (ankle), LB Roquan Smith (knee), S Kyle Hamilton (knee), S Jaylinn Hawkins (knee), G Olaivavega Ioane (knee) and G John Simpson (groin) carry questionable listings.

Last game recap

Tennessee lost 27-24 to Cleveland on a field goal as time expired. Tony Pollard rushed for 129 yards and three touchdowns, including the late tying score.

The Bengals scored touchdowns on five straight possessions after halftime and finished 5-for-5 in the red zone. Team box score: 357 total yards, 73 rushing, 0 turnovers.

Key injuries and availability

Tennessee: WR Carnell Tate (shoulder) and RB Tyjae Spears (knee) were not practicing Friday and remain questionable in the current feed. WR Calvin Ridley (hip) was limited Thursday. DE John Franklin-Myers (groin) is also questionable. Those absences could reduce Ward’s available targets and the defensive front’s depth.

Cincinnati: S Kyle Dugger is out with a quadriceps injury. TE Erick All Jr. is on injured reserve after another torn ACL and is expected to miss the rest of the season; WR Andrei Iosivas is on IR with a thumb injury. S Jordan Battle (hamstring) is questionable. Ja’Marr Chase practiced fully Thursday and is listed active.

Coaching and personnel context Robert Saleh is in his first season as Tennessee’s head coach. Cincinnati remains under Zac Taylor. Tennessee also traded DT Jeffery Simmons to Chicago on Thursday, October 29; his removal is a personnel change that the earlier defensive averages do not capture.

Last game recap

Minnesota beat Indianapolis 16-10 despite another slow offensive start. Blake Cashman produced two sacks, and Harrison Smith’s late interception ended the Colts’ final chance. Murray threw for 150 yards without an interception, while Will Reichard supplied three field goals. Team box score: 275 total yards, 136 rushing, 0 turnovers.

Detroit beat Green Bay 20-17 on Jake Bates’ 22-yard field goal as time expired. The Lions survived an unsuccessful fourth-down attempt deep in their own territory, received a reprieve from a missed Packers field goal, then drove for the winning kick. Goff threw for 303 yards without an interception. Team box score: 415 total yards, 119 rushing, 2 turnovers.

Key injuries and availability

Minnesota: RB Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) was limited Thursday and is questionable. G Donovan Jackson (meniscus), TE Josh Oliver (biceps) and C Nick Samac (knee) are on IR. Jones’ availability matters to an offense that has leaned heavily on its defense and field position.

Detroit: S Kerby Joseph is listed out with a knee injury. CB Ennis Rakestraw Jr. (ankle) is questionable. G Ben Bartch (foot) and LB Devin White (forearm) went on IR Friday. The defensive absences matter against Minnesota’s receiving talent even though the Vikings’ passing volume has been modest.

Las Vegas Raiders at New York Jets

Sunday, November 1 | 1:00 PM ET | Fox

Las Vegas Raiders 3-4 | New York Jets 2-5 | MetLife Stadium

Odds NYJ -1.5 | total 45.5 | moneyline LV +102 / NYJ -122.

Quarterback matchup

LV Kirk Cousins: 161/257 (62.6%), 1,877 passing yards, 16 TD, 5 INT, 97.4 passer rating; rushing 15 carries, 4 yards, 0 TD.

NYJ Geno Smith: 145/207 (70.0%), 1,623 passing yards, 10 TD, 2 INT, 105.2 passer rating; rushing 22 carries, 42 yards, 0 TD.

Klint Kubiak has reaffirmed Cousins as the starter. Calls for rookie Fernando Mendoza have not produced an announced quarterback change. Geno Smith faces the team he quarterbacked last season.

Offense and defense

Las Vegas Raiders: Offense 26.1 points, 351.6 total yards (276.9 passing / 74.7 rushing). Defense allows 28.1 points, 388.7 total yards (245.1 passing / 143.6 rushing).

New York Jets: Offense 19.6 points, 328.3 total yards (231.9 passing / 96.4 rushing). Defense allows 21.4 points, 330.6 total yards (202.9 passing / 127.7 rushing).

Last game recap

Las Vegas fell behind the Rams 28-6 at halftime and lost 35-21, its fourth consecutive defeat. Cousins threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns without an interception, but the Raiders ran for only 48 yards and scored a touchdown on just one of five red-zone trips. Team box score: 350 total yards, 48 rushing, 0 turnovers.

The Jets lost 28-25 to previously winless Miami. Smith threw for 287 yards and three touchdowns, including two to Mason Taylor, but the defense allowed three Dolphins touchdowns before halftime. Miami converted a late fourth-and-one to prevent New York from getting another possession. Team box score: 377 total yards, 108 rushing, 1 turnover.

Key injuries and availability

Las Vegas: G Jackson Powers-Johnson (back), OT DJ Glaze (ankle) and DT Folorunso Fatukasi (shoulder) are questionable. WR Jack Bech remains on IR with a forearm injury despite practicing fully Thursday; practice participation alone does not mean he has been activated.

New York: RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) is questionable. Edge Joseph Ossai (ankle) and DT T’Vondre Sweat (knee) are doubtful; Sweat is considered week-to-week. Rookie edge David Bailey (groin) is questionable after missing Wednesday’s practice. G Dylan Parham (knee) and OT Max Mitchell (concussion) are additional line concerns.

Coaching and personnel context Klint Kubiak is in his first season leading Las Vegas. Aaron Glenn remains the Jets’ head coach despite mounting pressure; the current preview does not establish an actual in-season dismissal or replacement.

Quinshon Judkins ran for 96 yards and two scores, while KC Concepcion caught eight passes for 129 yards. Team box score: 491 total yards, 183 rushing, 2 turnovers.

Pittsburgh beat New Orleans 16-10 in France. Rodgers threw for 212 yards and one touchdown, Jaylen Warren ran for 101 yards, and Chris Boswell kicked three field goals. A red-zone interception by Payton Wilson helped preserve the lead, and the Steelers allowed only 18 rushing yards. Team box score: 343 total yards, 148 rushing, 0 turnovers.

Key injuries and availability

Cleveland: OT Tytus Howard (concussion) and DE Jared Verse (knee) missed Wednesday’s practice and remain questionable. C Elgton Jenkins (knee), DT Mason Graham (ankle), S Grant Delpit (neck) and LB Carson Schwesinger (ankle) also carry questionable listings. DT Mike Hall Jr. (ankle) and CB Myles Harden (hamstring) were limited Wednesday.

Pittsburgh: Edge Alex Highsmith (groin), CB Brandin Echols (hamstring), CB Doneiko Slaughter (hamstring) and WR Ben Skowronek (calf) are questionable. DT Sebastian Joseph-Day went on IR Thursday with a triceps injury. Pittsburgh’s front-seven availability deserves attention against Cleveland’s improving ground game.

Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Sunday, November 1 | 1:00 PM ET | Fox

Atlanta Falcons 3-4 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2-5 | Raymond James Stadium

Odds TB -2.5 | total 43.5 | moneyline ATL +114 / TB -135.

2025 season matchup Sep. 7, 2025: Atlanta Falcons 20, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23; Dec. 11, 2025: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28, Atlanta Falcons 29.

Quarterback matchup

ATL Michael Penix Jr.: 96/144 (66.7%), 1,157 passing yards, 9 TD, 1 INT, 109.1 passer rating; rushing 12 carries, 4 yards, 0 TD.

TB Baker Mayfield: 68/107 (63.6%), 679 passing yards, 3 TD, 2 INT, 83.0 passer rating; rushing 12 carries, 66 yards, 1 TD.

Mayfield returned last week after missing three games with a dislocated thumb. Tampa Bay protected him with 49 rushing attempts, so that win did not establish that his normal passing workload is back.

Offense and defense

Atlanta Falcons: Offense 24.4 points, 351.1 total yards (211.3 passing / 139.9 rushing). Defense allows 24.7 points, 360.3 total yards (271.4 passing / 88.9 rushing).

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Offense 23.1 points, 315.0 total yards (168.6 passing / 146.4 rushing). Defense allows 21.6 points, 311.0 total yards (233.7 passing / 77.3 rushing).

Last three games

Atlanta Falcons (1-2 SU): Oct. 25 W 29-20 vs SF; Oct. 18 L 23-31 vs CHI; Oct. 11 L 23-30 OT vs BAL.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1 SU): Oct. 25 W 43-13 @ CAR; Oct. 18 L 19-26 OT vs PIT; Oct. 8 W 24-16 @ DAL.

Last game recap

Atlanta handed San Francisco its first loss, 29-20. Penix threw three touchdowns without an interception, and the Falcons won the turnover battle 4-0. Atlanta generated only 295 total yards, so the takeaways and short fields were a major part of the scoring output. Team box score: 295 total yards, 82 rushing, 0 turnovers.

Tampa Bay routed Carolina 43-13 in Mayfield’s return. The Buccaneers ran for 258 yards on 49 attempts, with Bucky Irving contributing 106 yards and two touchdowns. Four Panthers turnovers, a defensive touchdown and a blocked extra-point return helped turn a modest passing workload into a blowout. Team box score: 322 total yards, 258 rushing, 0 turnovers.

Key injuries and availability

Atlanta: CB A.J. Terrell Jr. and CB C.J. Henderson (both groin), LB Divine Deablo (forearm) and WR Olamide Zaccheaus (shoulder) were limited Thursday and remain questionable. RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) missed a second straight practice. OT Jawaan Taylor (hamstring) and DE Samson Ebukam (hamstring) also carry questionable listings.

Tampa Bay: WR Emeka Egbuka is ruled out with a foot injury. RT Luke Goedeke (calf) did not practice Thursday and is questionable. RB Kenny Gainwell (hip) was limited and is questionable. LB Christian Rozeboom went on IR Thursday with a finger injury. Mayfield’s throwing-hand recovery remains relevant even though he is not currently listed questionable.

Coaching and personnel context Kevin Stefanski is Atlanta’s first-year head coach. Todd Bowles remains in charge in Tampa Bay. Penix’s recent production under Stefanski is more relevant than Atlanta’s early games while its starting quarterback was unavailable.

Key injuries and availability

Chargers: S Derwin James Jr. is doubtful after a hamstring setback. WR Ladd McConkey (concussion) practiced fully Thursday but still carries a questionable listing.

Landman’s full Wednesday practice was encouraging, but his final game designation still matters.

Coaching and personnel context Mike McDaniel is the Chargers’ new-for-2026 offensive coordinator under Jim Harbaugh. The additional preparation time after the bye creates an opportunity for adjustment, but the season’s poor scoring and turnover results still require an on-field correction.

Coaching context r. Cornerbacks coach Dakari Monroe was dismissed

Matchup analysis Kent State’s four-touchdown passing performance against Akron is encouraging, but its season-long scoring average remains below 15 points.
