The Chicago Bears take on the Seattle Seahawks Sunday in the playoffs. Both teams have improved since their last meeting, but how will things be different this time?

For an offensive line, perhaps more than any other group in sports, communication is the most vital key to success. And the more the group plays together, the more that communication improves.
A win can do a lot for a team's confidence, especially in the playoffs. And especially when the team, according to everyone outside of Seattle, didn't deserve to be in the playoffs.
To get to Dallas, the Bears have to give the ball to Matt Forte.
For just the second time in the history of the Chicago Bears a player has gone over 1,000 yards rushing and 500 yards receiving in the same season as Matt Forte did so yesterday.
Getting away with something is not evidence that it was a good idea. There are times in the life of every thoughtful person when we look back at a decision to take a risk of some kind, and think "Well, that probably wasn't too smart.

The Chicago Bears seemingly have nothing to play for. The Green Bay Packers aren't nearly as fortunate.
The Chicago Bears made an impressive push for the playoffs since their bye week. Their offensive line's improvements have been part of the reason, but the line is still ranked last in the NFL.

How bad was New England's 36-7 defeat of the Bears on Sunday? Figure this; the Patriots were leading 33-0 at halftime while Jay Cutler and Mike Martz could only lead the beloved to 33 yards of total offense in the first half.
One of the biggest matchups in Sunday's game will be the Bears' offense against the Patriots' defense. The longer the Bears can keep Tom Brady off the field, the better chance they have to win.

The Bears are looking for their fifth straight win as they visit Detroit.

Julius peppers was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Month for his performance in the four Bears' wins in November. Jay Cutler also received an award for his performance against the Philadelphia Eagles.
This was by far the best Bears' win this season. It was also Jay Cutler's best game as a Chicago Bear, and not just because of the stats.
We are not even through two seasons since Jay Cutler became a Bear, and it already feels like a long story: spectacular touchdowns undermined by inexcusable interceptions, petulant shoulder shrugs interpreted for greater meaning, and club-hopping with quasi-famous TV arm-candy.
The Vikings are fighting to get back into the NFC North race while the Bears have a chance to tie the Packers for the lead. Both teams have a lot to gain from Sunday's game.
Hola from Toronto...wait that doesn't sound quite right. Anyway, the Bears find themselves in a must-win situation north of the border. The road to the playoffs becomes a lot more difficult if they leave Canada 4-4. Everyone at Halas Hall will feel vindicated in their off-week activities if the Bears can beat the winless Bills.
Coming off of their bye week, the Chicago Bears are rested and ready to take on the winless Buffalo Bills.
