Bennett brothers on opposite sides when Seahawks face Bears

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Michael Bennett dislikes playing against his brother Martellus, so much so that he nearly signed with the Chicago Bears in free agency last year to avoid having to face him again.

The Bears travel to Seattle on Sunday to face Michael's Seahawks. It's just the third time the brothers have had to play against each other in the regular season since the two entered the league — Martellus in 2008 and Michael in 2009.

"I don't like playing against my brother. It's just hard to make your mindset go against somebody that's your family," Michael said.
