Mitchell Trubisky threw for two touchdowns as the Chicago Bears' defense ransacked Russell Wilson in a 24-17 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at Soldier Field on Monday.
Bears quarterback Trubisky made 25 of 34 passes for 200 yards as the Seahawks slid to their second loss of the season.
Receiver Trey Burton opened the scoring for the Bears midway through the first quarter, darting through a gap in the Seattle defensive line after a clever three-yard shovel pass from Trubisky.
A 25-yard Cody Parkey field goal stretched the Bears lead to 10-0 early in the second quarter before Seattle got their first points on the board with a monster 56-yard field goal from 40-year-old veteran Sebastian Janikowski on the stroke of half-time.
It was a miserable first half for Wilson, who was sacked five times in the opening two quarters by a rampant Bears defense.
Newly acquired Bears defensive star Khalil Mack was in the thick of the action, recording one of his team's six sacks on the night.
After a scoreless third quarter, the Bears bagged their second touchdown when Trubisky rolled out left before picking out Anthony Miller in space in the end zone.
