Here are Jeff Joniak's "Keys to the Game" for the Bears as they take on the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Soldier Field.
Life can be difficult for a rookie quarterback on the road, and that's exactly how life has been for Seahawks rookie signal caller Russell Wilson.
Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell's passing scheme is predicated on play action off of inside-zone run looks.
If the season were to end today, Seattle would travel to Chicago for a Wild Card round matchup. Granted, a lot of shuffling can - and will - happen over the next six weeks, but this Sunday is a huge game for both teams.
Despite rushing for more yards per game last year than Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch and Chris Johnson, the Bears are right in their hesitance to sign Forte to a massive contract.
Next to Marshawn Lynch, the guy who might be the happiest about the running back's new contract is Matt Forte.
The Bears are still mathematically in the playoff hunt, but barely, after being mowed down by the Seattle Seahawks in the second half at Soldier Field Sunday.
A home game with the soft-as-pudding Seahawks prior to the Christmas Day game at Green Bay was supposed to tighten the Bears and get them ready for a peak performance.
In November, the Chicago Bears fell to the Seahawks. Seattle's blitz schemes resulted in six sacks of Cutler in their 23-10 victory. The Bears are ready for a different result in their push through the playoffs.
The Bears aren't underestimating the Seattle Seahawks after they defeated the Saints last week and after their loss to Seattle in October.
The Seattle Seahawks upset the New Orleans Saints in the first round of the playoffs. While that win might have shocked the NFL, one touchdown may have shocked Seattle, literally.
The NFL playoffs kicked off with the Seattle Seahawks facing the New Orleans Saints Saturday. With the Saints being knocked off in the wild card, it is now between the Seahawks or Eagles to face the Chicago Bears.
