The Chicago Bears will face the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football, where Chicago is looking to win their third straight game in the second of three straight prime-time contests ahead of their bye week.
The Bears are coming off a 30-24 win over the New England Patriots, where things got ugly at times but Chicago was able to overcome and make a statement to improve to 5-2. Quarterback Caleb Williams had another impressive outing just two games removed from injury, the defense (outside of an awful end-of-half play) was good enough in the win and kicker Cairo Santos was the hero with a career-long 58-yard field goal.
Now, the Bears will face their toughest challenge to date against the defending Super Bowl champions, and it'll be a measuring
stick for this Ben Johnson-led team in what could be a preview of the NFC Championship. Chicago is road underdogs against Seattle. But what do the experts think? Here's a look:
