Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks are doing quite well this season, and are guided by head coach Mike Macdonald who is in his first year with the team. Seattle started off the season pretty well, but got stuck in a pickle in between, but managed to get back on the winning horse after that. The Seahawks have been mainly led by quarterback Geno Smith, who has been fantastic this season, but still have plenty of work to do in terms of their defense.
Players to watch:
Geno Smith: 3,623 Yds, 14 TD, 13 INT
Kenneth Walker III: 145 Car, 542 Yds, 7 TD
Jaxon Smith-Njigba: 85 Rec, 994 Yds, 5 TD
Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears are definitely not having a great season so far in the NFL. General Manager Ryan Poles is continuing his third year with the struggling Bears right now. While the Bears did start off the season with impressive wins against teams like the Los Angeles Rams and the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team managed to hit a long losing streak, which is yet to be broken. The team might do slightly better in this home game, as they have done in the past this season.
Players to watch:
Caleb Williams: 2,937 Yds, 17 TD, 5 INT
DJ Moore: 76 Rec, 758 Yds, 5 TD
T.J. Edwards: 67 Solo, 3 Sack, 1 FF, 1 INT
