Seahawks offense struggles after Quenton Nelson trade in Bears loss

Summary

The Seattle Seahawks lost 34-17 to the Chicago Bears on November 3, 2026, in their first game after trading for Quenton Nelson. Despite Nelson's addition to bolster the offensive line, Seattle managed only 81 rushing yards and converted just one of 11 third downs. Quarterback Sam Darnold completed 17 of 34 passes for 188 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, failing to capitalize on multiple scoring opportunities. This defeat marks Seattle's third loss in four games, raising questions about their offensive production and effectiveness. They are set to host the Arizona Cardinals next week in hopes of regaining momentum.
