Could this Week 8 matchup be an early preview of the NFC Championship Game? While the San Francisco 49ers might have a say in the matter, it would not be shocking to see the Bears and Seahawks meet again in January 2026 with a Super Bowl berth at stake. Both teams have been among the NFC's most complete squads and have impressed so far.
The defending Super Bowl champions enter Week 8 just one game above .500, but they secured arguably their best win of the season last Sunday night by defeating the Kansas City Chiefs. Meanwhile, Chicago appears to have taken another step forward under head coach Ben Johnson, particularly on defense, and carries a 5-2 record into Week 8.

The Seahawks will host the Bears at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington. This will be Seattle's second consecutive home prime-time game. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET on Monday, Nov. 2.
