The Seattle Seahawks beat the Chicago Bears during their regular season matchup. While both teams can use that game as reference, both teams also have drastically improved since then.

“It’s the same players, the same system, the same scheme,” Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler said when asked what they can take from the week six game. “You get a good indication of what they want to do against us. They had a bye week before that played us. So they had a little time to draw some stuff up.”

While the Bears have some familiarity with the Seahawks, both teams are nothing like what they were back in the early part of the regular season.

“You can definitely tell from the week we played them to where they are now,” Cutler said. “They’re a much improved team.”
