Statistical Breakdown: How Bears and Seahawks stack up before Week 17

The Chicago Bears (4-11) will face the Seattle Seahawks (8-7) in Week 17, where Chicago is looking to snap a nine-game losing streak in their final game at Soldier Field this season.

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.

Here’s how the Bears and Seahawks stack up statistically ahead of their Week 17 matchup:
