Monday Night Football pits the Chicago Bears against the Seattle Seahawks, and a Bears win could indirectly help the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC playoff race. A Seattle loss would drop the Seahawks to 4-4, tying them with the Rams in the NFC West behind the 6-1 49ers. With the NFC North tightly packed—Vikings at 6-1, Bears and Lions at 5-2, Packers 5-3—the Bears' result also impacts non‑divisional wild‑card berths.
