Bears DL Jeffery Simmons and Edge Montez Sweat each have a sack tonight against Seattle. It's the first time they've both had one in the same game since Jan. 1, 2019, when they were Mississippi State teammates and lost the Outback Bowl to Iowa 27-22. They did it five times together at Mississippi State, in 2017 and 2018.

Tucker has not kicked in an NFL game since 2024. He has already served his 10-week suspension for violating the league's Personal Conduct Policy, and he is eligible Sunday at Denver.

Second half and overtime: - 51 points scored - 114 allowed (most in the NFL) First half: - 118 points scored (most in the NFL) - 53 allowed Lamar Jackson has missed three straight games with a high ankle sprain.

Per @AdamSchefter: The Colts are trading G Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks. Indianapolis receives a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick. Nelson, the No. 6 pick in 2018: eight-time Pro Bowler. First-team All-Pro in each of his first three seasons. The defending Super Bowl champions, Seattle Seahawks (4-3) continue making moves to attempt to repeat. Nelson's first game with Seattle could come Monday, Nov. 2, vs. the Bears.
