What else to know about the game
Chicago will have a short week to prepare for Seattle after its losing streak extended at home in a 34-17 loss to the Detroit Lions Sunday. The Bears are 4-11 after dropping nine straight games following a promising 4-2 start.
On the other side, Seattle fell short at home 27-24 to the Minnesota Vikings. The 8-7 Seahawks now need to beat Chicago and hope the 9-6 Los Angeles Rams lose at home to the already-eliminated Arizona Cardinals in the race for the NFC West title. Seattle and Los Angeles meet in Week 18.
Rumors of who could be the next Chicago Bears head coach are also swirling, and one unlikely but intriguing name has emerged: former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, 73, according to reports.
The Super Bowl winning coach led the Seahawks for 14 seasons before his gig came to an end last year.
The Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus on Nov. 29, one day after a 23-20 loss to the Lions, with Thomas Brown -- the team's former offensive coordinator and offensive passing game coordinator -- serving as the Bears interim head coach.
