With playoff destiny out of their hands, Seahawks try to stay in chase as they face struggling Bears

Associated Press  

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks need a win to help keep their flickering playoff hopes from getting extinguished. Running back Kenneth Walker III left last week’s game with an ankle injury after sitting out the previous two because of a calf problem. Record watch Williams has a chance to set the Bears’ single-season passing record, assuming he plays the final two games. “There’s some team rules throughout the week, and just felt like it was the best thing for the team and for him to not start the game,” Macdonald said. Besides the fact that Smith-Njigba became the 10th Seahawks player last week with 1,000 yards in a season, Chicago is struggling to defend the pass.
