By: Shawn

Seattle's victory ensures that it will remain in the NFC West competition until the Rams game on Saturday; but, if Los Angeles wins that game and other outcomes go against the Seahawks on Sunday, they might be eliminated. If the Rams lose to the Cardinals on Saturday, the winner of next week's game between the Seahawks and the Rams will take the NFC West division championship.

In a game that may be described as a defensive war, the Seahawks outgained the Bears 265 yards to 179. Both teams failed to score a touchdown, and neither scored a point in the second half.
