The Chicago Bears and the Seattle Seahawks played each other in week six of the regular season. While both teams can use that game as reference, both teams have drastically improved since then.
After losing the Super Bowl in 2006, the Bears selected Greg Olsen with the 31st overall pick in the NFL Draft. While some desire better stats and more blocking because of where he was drafted, his versatility should be the focus.
NFL teams look for any way to get an advantage over their opponents. The New England Patriots have been known to cheat. The Bears, however, get their edge from their specialty unit.
Johnny Knox may not have any experience playing in the playoffs, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the importance of Sunday's game.
For part of this season the Bears had a pass-heavy offense. It wasn't until they switched over to a more balanced attack that the team became a serious title contender.

For sports fans everywhere, one of the most fun things to do is play the "what if" game. You know what I am talking about.
When Jay Cutler's name has come up in past comparisons of NFL quarterbacks, "never been to the playoffs" before was always mentioned; but that has never bothered Cutler.
The Bears were rewarded for their 11-5 record with a first round bye in the playoffs and a home field advantage for this divisional round game. But according to ProFootballTalk.com's Mike Florio, that week off could hurt them.
The Bears-Seahawks game on Sunday will matchup up two very different quarterbacks. Matt Hasselbeck, has played in a Super Bowl, Jay Cutler, on the other hand, will make his first postseason start.
