RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Before their stunning upset of New Orleans to open the NFL playoffs, the Seattle Seahawks’ most complete performance of the season came in a Week 6 victory at Chicago.
So maybe that’s why there is a general feeling of comfort about the Seahawks returning to Chicago for Sunday’s NFC divisional playoff.
While they are going to be decided underdogs again, the Seahawks already know they can win in Soldier Field, beating the Bears 23-20 back in mid-October.
And these Seahawks are on a roll, a thought that seemed impossible just a few week ago when they capped a stretch of seven losses in nine games with three straight thuds against San Francisco, Atlanta and Tampa Bay. A win over the Bears would give Seattle its first three-game win streak since 2007.
