Bears vs. Seahawks: Announcers set for Week 17 game

The Chicago Bears (4-11) will battle the Seattle Seahawks (8-7) in Week 17, where Chicago is looking to snap their nine-game losing streak in their home finale.

The Bears’ Week 16 game will air Thursday night on Prime at 7:15 p.m. CT. The television commentators for the game are Al Michaels (play by play), Kirk Herbstreit (analyst) and Kaylee Hartung (sideline).

The Bears are coming off a 34-17 loss to the Detroit Lions, where Chicago strung together another uninspired performance where they were outcoached, outplayed and continued to make the self-inflicted mistakes that have defined their 2024 season. The Bears offense strung together four miserable drives to start the game before Caleb Williams and co. finally found a rhythm with back-to-back touchdown drives in the second quarter. Meanwhile, the defense was abysmal, including allowing an 82-yard touchdown, allowing 30-plus points in their third straight game.

Meanwhile, Seattle is coming off a 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, where a missed field goal and then a Geno Smith interception spoiled a potential win or overtime. Smith passed for 314 yards and three touchdowns, but he had two costly interceptions. On defense, the Seahawks sacked Sam Darnold three times and held the surging Vikings to 10 points in the second half.

The Bears have gone 0-3 under interim head coach Thomas Brown, where they've averaged 14 points per game and allowed an average 34 points per game in that span. Can they finally turn things around before a season finale against the division rival Green Bay Packers next week?
