What else to know about the game

Chicago will have a short week to prepare for Seattle after their losing streak was extended at home in a 34-17 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The Bears are 4-11 after losing nine straight games following a promising 4-2 start.

On the other hand, Seattle fell short at home 27-24 to the Minnesota Vikings. The 8-7 Seahawks now have to beat Chicago and hope for 9-6 Los Angeles Rams losing 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 about who could become the next Chicago Bears head coach are also swirling, and an 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 ended last year.

The Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus on Nov. 29, one day after a 23-20 loss to Lionswith Thomas Brown—the team’s former offensive and passing game coordinator—serving as the Bears’ interim head coach.
