What happened: Broadcaster Cris Collinsworth said that if the Chicago Bears come out of their game against the Seattle Seahawks with a win, conversation turns to "the possibilities of winning it all this year." The prime-time meeting sends Chicago to Seattle for a head-to-head test between two teams above .500.

Why it matters: A road victory would extend Chicago's winning streak to three games and give the Bears a head-to-head tiebreaker edge in the NFC playoff race ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline. Seattle enters on the conference bubble in eighth place and can pull even with Chicago in the win column by defending its home field.

By the numbers: Chicago holds the No. 5 seed at 5-2 (W2) following a 30-24 win on Oct. 22, while Seattle sits at No. 8 at 4-3 (W1) after a 20-3 victory on Oct. 25.

What to watch: The Bears visit the Seahawks on Monday Night Football at Lumen Field.
