Evaluating overall game logs requires contextualizing the timeframe: each team's recent ten-game sample reaches back into early 2026. For Seattle, that includes playoff victories over San Francisco (41-6), the Los Angeles Rams (31-27), and New England (29-13 on February 8, 2026) to close out last season's postseason run. Chicago's ten-game stretch similarly spans back to the previous postseason, where they defeated Green Bay 31-27 before falling 20-17 to the Los Angeles Rams on January 18, 2026. In terms of head-to-head history, the last two meetings produced low-scoring outcomes, including a 6-3 Seattle victory on December 26, 2024, and a 25-24 Chicago win on December 26, 2021.
