Why to watch
Seattle has a chance to match last season's win total with time to spare. Still, that effort won't be enough for a division title this time around. The Bears are collapsing and finding new ways to lose each week. Seattle won at Soldier Field a year ago.
Inside story
Chicago's offensive ineptitude only figures to continue here, with Caleb Hanie faltering. Seattle's defense has playmakers at each level. Marion Barber might still be shaken by last week's meltdown. Tarvaris Jackson knows the Bears' cover-2 scheme well from playing against them as a Viking, and also practicing against it when in Minnesota. Marshawn Lynch is running for a new contract while Matt Forte remains out.
