Monday Night Football: The 5-2 Bears Go to Seattle to Close Week 8
Chicago brings a 5-2 record into Lumen Field against the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks (4-3) at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN — dry, calm and 51 degrees in Seattle, so the matchup, not the weather, decides it.
Seattle — Week 8 ends under the lights at Lumen Field, where the Chicago Bears (5-2) visit the Seattle Seahawks (4-3) on Monday Night Football. Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Seattle, the defending Super Bowl champion, comes in off the kind of win that resets a season: the Seahawks recently handed the previously unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the year. Chicago arrives with the better record and a rushing attack that preview coverage identifies as the test Seattle's defense has to pass.
One variable is off the table. The forecast for kickoff in Seattle is 51 degrees, cloudy, with a 0 percent chance of rain and almost no wind — neutral conditions that leave both passing games and both kickers unaffected, according to the DraftKings Network forecast.
It is the last game of a Week 8 that reshaped Florida's Sunday — the Dolphins' loss to New England, the Jaguars' rout of Indianapolis and Tampa Bay's slate all filed on this site — and by midnight the league's Week 9 picture will be complete.
