The Seattle Seahawks can win the NFC West if the San Francisco 49ers lose to the Chicago Bears and the Los Angeles Rams somehow lose to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday. They can win the NFC West and lock up the NFC’s top seed with the Rams lose AND the 49ers and Bears play to a tie. Only a tie is an acceptable outcome in this scenario.

The division winner gets the tougher schedule and here's who the Bears will play, but one never knows who improves and drops in the NFL on a year-to-year basis.

The San Francisco 49ers host the Chicago Bears at Levi's Stadium in Week 17 on "Sunday Night Football" at 8:20 p.m. ET. in Santa Clara, California.

The Chicago Bears (11-4) are eyeing zero players on their injury report heading into their Sunday, Dec. 28 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers (11-4) at Levi's Stadium, which begins at 8:20 p.m. ET. Game time: 8:20 p.m. ET

The 49ers and Bears face off as both teams have a path to the NFC’s 1 seed. Chicago has built its record on comebacks and creating turnovers. The Niners built theirs on offensive execution and making just enough plays for the win on defense. To get the victory, the Niners need to shut down a Bears comeback and protect the ball.

Ben Johnson has turned the Chicago Bears around, but their success could lead to other teams hiring assistants from his staff.

One of the biggest keys to Chicago's success has been the work that first-year head coach Ben Johnson has done with Williams, and San Francisco's coaching staff has taken notice of it. Both head coach Kyle Shanahan and defensive coordinator Robert Saleh sang praises of Williams in his second season.
