What happened: Speaking alongside Jac Collinsworth on PFF, Cris Collinsworth said a Chicago Bears victory over the Seattle Seahawks would open discussion about Chicago's chances of "winning it all this year." The matchup pairs two winning clubs after Chicago earned a 30-24 victory on Oct. 22 and Seattle posted a 20-3 win on Oct. 25.

Why it matters: A win would extend Chicago's two-game winning streak and strengthen its hold on the No. 5 seed against a 4-3 Seattle squad currently sitting in the No. 8 spot. The trajectory marks a notable shift since late September, when both clubs were still evaluating quarterback options.

By the numbers: Chicago Bears: 5-2 record, W2 streak, No. 5 seed, 30-24 win in last outing (Oct. 22). Seattle Seahawks: 4-3 record, W1 streak, No. 8 seed, 20-3 win in last outing (Oct. 25).

What to watch: The Bears and Seahawks square off next with playoff seeding at stake ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline.
